London Landmarks Half Marathon raises £14m for charities

The London Landmarks Half Marathon has raised a record £14m for charities.

Over 20,000 runners took to the streets of London yesterday, 6 April, for the annual event, which began eight years ago.

The event has now raised a grand total of £67m for charities since the race first began.

This year’s race included the first ever ‘Tommy’s Wave’, with over 2,000 runners creating a sea of pink, running and fundraising specifically for pregnancy and baby charity Tommy’s, the owners of the event.

2025 also saw the event welcome a new official sponsor – Royal Bank of Canada, marking the event’s largest sponsorship to date.

This year’s event started close to Downing Street, and marked the first year runners tackled the route in reverse.

The course took them through historic Westminster under Big Ben, along the Thames Embankment towards the City to take in the old and new landmarks including the Bank of England, the Gherkin, the Shard, and the Tower of London, before heading back towards Trafalgar Square for a triumphant finish under Nelson’s Column.
