Join Team Helen Arkell for the London Landmarks Half Marathon in 2026!

The London Landmarks Half Marathon is a closed road, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster.

The event is not your average half marathon! From cultural landmarks and heritage to the city’s quirky and hidden secrets, runners get to explore the capital on a route like no other!

The event starts on Pall Mall, finished by Downing Street and had fabulous views of London’s most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Nelson’s Column, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.

By taking part, you will be enabling us to help children and adults with dyslexia in urgent need of specialist support.

As a member of the Helen Arkell London Landmarks Half Marathon team, you’ll receive a fundraising pack and a breathable running top.
