The Marathon

The Royal Parks Foundation, the charity for the eight Royal Parks, is launching a brand new half marathon this year on 12 October 2008, starting and ending in Hyde Park. brainstrust will have a pitch at Hyde Park where you can come and collect your brainstrust prize for completing the half marathon.

brainstrust has been lucky! We have been allocated 55 places! And 2 runners have managed to get places through the public draw. Our 57 runners will race (or walk!) through four Royal Parks, taking in superb views of Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, Marble Arch and the Royal Albert Hall.

You can find out more about the marathon on www.royalparkshalf.com

The Route

This half marathon will celebrate the amazing wildlife, history and heritage of the Royal Parks and sustainability will be a central theme of the event. Here is a map of the route:

Our runners

Each of our 57 runners will soon have their very own fundraising page set up on Justgiving.com, which makes supporting our runners and brainstrust simplicity itself. Visit our runners page to see a full list of our Half Marathon team:
