Already got a place for the Hackney Half Marathon?
If you already have a place at the event, you can still be part of Team Red Cross. You’ll receive the same support as other team members but won’t have a fundraising target to reach – just raise as much as you can.
Why take part in the Hackney Half?
- Starting at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, you will race through the streets of Hackney passing Hackney Downs, the Hackney Empire, the British Red Cross Hackney Refugee Centre, Victoria Park and the London Stadium.
- Along the route you will pass DJs, bands and supporters who will cheer you over the finishing line.
- You’ll be supporting our vital work helping people in crisis in the UK and overseas.
- You'll be part of an unforgettable and truly rewarding experience.
Why run for Team Red Cross?
We help people in the UK and across the world get the support they need in an emergency. By joining Team Red Cross, you'll be raising funds for this important work.
As part of our Team, we'll be on hand to support you throughout your event.
