London’s most scenic half marathon, the London Landmarks, returns to the streets of Westminster and the City on April 6. It’s set to be the biggest yet with more than 20,000 runners primed to take to the closed-roads route on Sunday (landmarks include the London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral and Somerset House), with thousands more turning out to cheer them on and more than £10 million expected to be raised for feel-good causes. As ever, this year’s official charity is Tommy’s, the UK’s leading pregnancy charity. The event also has 500+ other charity partners.
Plenty of star faces are expected to join the running ranks this year. Actor Stephen Mangan (how is he fitting in training around his West End play?), sibling duo AJ and Curtis Pritchard, presenters Aimee Fuller and Jenni Falconer, Kitty Scott Claus from Ru Paul’s Drag Race and Harry Clark, the winner of Traitors 24 are among celebrities taking part in Sunday’s race, and it’s due to be the most sustainable London Landmarks yet, with paper cups available and runners encouraged to bring their own refillable bottle in a bid to go plastic bottle-free.
