Take in views of London's most iconic landmarks as you run, including Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, the Gherkin, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye before crossing the finish line at Downing Street.

How much do I have to raise?

For this half marathon there is a registration fee of £40 and we ask for a minimum sponsorship commitment of £375. This amount could fund a month of running our Lifeline service, a phone line that takes calls from people who are struggling to cope with the loss of their cat.
