London Landmarks Half Marathon

This is is not your average half marathon - from cultural landmarks to the city's quirky hidden secrets, runners will get to explore the capital on a route like no other!

13,000 runners will start on Pall Mall, finish by Downing Street and have fabulous views of London’s most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Nelson’s Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye. 

Our charity entries how now closed but you can still join our team if you have you own ballot place!

By joining Team Alzheimer's Society, you'll be part of the movement to help end dementia. Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted in their community. For instance, £100 could fund one of our National Dementia Helpline advisors to provide 7 hours of emotional support, personal advice and vital information to people affected by dementia. 

When you run for us, you'll receive:

• a support pack with fundraising help and materials
• a free running top to wear on race day
• detailed training guides for different abilities and personalised support from our experts 
• access to a Facebook group where you can chat to other runners
• support from our dedicated events team to help you smash your fundraising target

We know that fundraising can be just as challenging as the event, but we’ll be here to support you every step of the way. When you sign up to run for us, you will receive a support pack with tips and advice to help you with your fundraising, allowing you to make a difference to people living with dementia. 

To kick-start your fundraising in the meantime, why not set up a JustGiving page?

You can also print off a sponsorship form to share with friends and family. 

If you have cheques that you need to send in to us, please use our paying in form and post to:

Not a runner? You can still do something incredible and make a difference to people affected by dementia.

Join our cheer team at the London Landmarks Half Marathon. We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers to support our runners on the course. We'll kit you out with an Alzheimer's Society t-shirt and provide lots of cheer equipment so you can really make some noise!

With your help we aim to give our runners an amazing event day experience, boost them over the finish line, and set them on their way to raising even more money to change the lives of people affected by dementia. And we can guarantee you'll have a great time!
