The HOKA Hackney Half Marathon is one of London's most popular running events, attracting thousands of runners each year. In this sell-out East London race, you'll run past our front doors, through Broadway Market and alongside London Fields, before taking on miles in the famous Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Soak up the incredible community atmosphere as you take on this flat and vibrant 13.1-mile route through the heart of Hackney.

Become a fundraiser and support Creative Futures, our pioneering young people's programme. Over the last 20 years, Creative Futures has worked with more than 20,000 young people across Hackney and East London, creating opportunities for them to connect, grow and thrive through arts and culture.

Founded on the belief that creativity can be a powerful force for change, Creative Futures helps young people build confidence, develop skills, discover pathways into the creative industries and become the artists and leaders of tomorrow.

Every mile you run and every pound you raise will make a lasting difference.
Get ready to feel out of breath but full of pride, as you help ensure more young people can realise their potential.
