London Landmarks Half Marathon 2021

Take in the sights of London whilst running for Coram Beanstalk by taking part in the 2021 London Landmarks Half Marathon!

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! 2021 promises to be more exciting than ever, with last year’s race being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a new exciting theme is yet to be released by the LLHM team.

Registration fee: £35

Fundraising pledge: £400

The support you will receive:

A Coram ‘Champion for Children’ running vest
A motivating cheer point along the route
Finishers Medal
Regular support and advice from a dedicated member of the Challenge Events team
An invitation to join the Team Coram whatsapp group, for regular training advice and fundraising hints and tips
A post-race reception for you and up to five family/friends with food
Personalised certificate of thanks from Coram Beanstalk
