Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon

Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon

On Sunday 10 October 2010, The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts is taking part in the Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon. With our intrepid runners’ help, we plan to raise funds to enable hundreds of children to enjoy the best of the art around the UK for the first time.

The 13.1 mile route goes through the beautiful Royal Parks – St. James’s Park, Green Park and Kensington Gardens – whilst taking in some of London’s oldest landmarks, including Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament.

With over 12,000 runners taking part and plenty of fun for the family, including The Brakes Food and Fitness Festival in Hyde Park, there’s no excuse not to take part!

Last year’s race was a great success with the Children & the Arts team raising over £7,000 of vital funds for the charity. With your help we hope this year’s race will be even better.
