#ROYALPARKSHALF
DEAR RUNNER
I am delighted to welcome
you to the 11th Royal Parks
Half Marathon.
The race was recently named as the
“World’s Most Stunning Half Marathon”
and it’s easy to see why. The route takes
in Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, The
Green Park and St James’s Park. These
beautiful green spaces, enjoyed by tens
of millions of visitors each year, are some
of the capital’s brightest jewels.
The Royal Parks is an independent charity that looks
after the eight Royal Parks and other open spaces for
the public benefit.
We are acutely aware of the responsibility we have
to protect our environment. Sustainability has been
at the core of the Royal Parks Half since its inception
and we continue to work to improve on our green
credentials. I am pleased to announce our commitment
to remove all plastic bottles from the course by 2020.
This year we will take the first steps towards fulfilling
this commitment, by introducing two water stations
with compostable cups and reducing the size of plastic
water bottles from 330ml to 250ml.
Through these steps, we will remove over 100,000
plastic bottles from the course and festival. We invite
you to join our commitment to becoming the greenest
race in London by reducing your plastic consumption
both on and off the course. Together, we can drastically
reduce the environmental impact of mass participation
events.
On behalf of the trustees
and staff of the Royal Parks
and our generous partners,
I wish you all the very best
of luck as you cross the start Route and Sustainability RACE DAY

As London’s greenest half marathon, we believe in taking bold steps to
protect our environment and limit the impact of our race.
This year, two of the water stations on the course will use WATER CUPS INSTEAD OF WATER
BOTTLES. We also won’t have any sports drink on the course this year. By making this change,
we are removing over 100,000 plastic bottles from the course and festival.
