RUN Battersea Park Half Marathon Spring 28th March 2027

The Run Battersea Park Half Marathon is on Sunday 28 March 2027, starting at Battersea Park next to the Bandstand. It's a half marathon that loops around the park on pancake-flat, well-paved paths, running past trees and gardens with views of the River Thames. The organisers describe it as a route suitable for beginners and experienced runners alike, so if you're looking for a flat course to set a personal best or just want a scenic run through the park, this is a good shout.

It's put on by RunUK, a London-based company that specialises in 5K, 10K and half marathon events for all abilities. They're running a full day of racing, so if a half marathon feels like a bit much, there's also a 10K and a 5K on the same day. You can pick the distance that suits you and still be part of the morning.

When you cross the finish line, you get a finisher's medal and a selection of goodies. The race is chip-timed, so you'll have an official record of your time, and there's an official race photographer on the course to catch you in action. There's also a medical team on hand and a free baggage drop, so you don't have to lug your gear around while you run.

The half marathon starts at 10:30 am on Sunday 28 March 2027, with the start and finish at Battersea Park, next to the Bandstand, Battersea Park Road, London SW11 4NJ. Entry is £33.11.
