Get ready to soak up the electric atmosphere of east London’s biggest running event! The Hackney Half is a fast, flat route that takes you through the vibrant streets of Hackney, past iconic landmarks, and into the famous Hackney Marshes.

With live entertainment, street bands, and cheering crowds lining the entire route, this isn’t just a race – it’s a full-on festival of fitness and community spirit. Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or taking on your first half marathon, the Hackney Half offers an unforgettable experience in one of London’s most diverse and energetic boroughs.
Charity places
To join Team SPACE with a charity place there is a registration fee of £20 and a minimum sponsorship of £350. Not only will you be soaking up the electric atmosphere but you will also be fundraising for an amazing cause. The money you raise will provide vital and at times life-changing support for Hertfordshire families who have children and young people who are autistic, have ADHD or other neurodiverse conditions.
Already have your own place?
If you’ve managed to secure your own place from the race organisers you can still sign up to join our team. For this option there’s no minimum sponsorship, but we hope you’ll raise as much as you can. Please email fundraising@spaceherts.org.uk for more information.
