Join Team Marie Curie for the Hackney Half

Come and see what all the buzz is about! The fantastic route showcases the historic Broadway Market and vibrant street art of East London. With live bands and entertainment throughout the course, this isn't just a race, it's a full-on festival. Runners will cruise down Mare Street through a carnival of sound. You'll pass some iconic landmarks and venues, including the famous Town Hall, the historic Broadway Market and Hackney Wick. Keep an eye out for the vibrant street art. To add to this already great mix, the route is flat and fast, making it perfect for anyone doing their first half marathon or looking for a PB. While the 2027 route will be similar to previous years, keep an eye out for the updated map which will be released closer to the event date. Sign up now to make sure you don't miss out on this brilliant half marathon. Have your own place?
