LLHM 2025 EVENT DAY
WHAT ARE THE TIMINGS OF THE EVENT?
You’ll find out your allocated wave and start time 2-3 weeks before the event when race packs are posted containing your race number and wave, and we’ll also email you your start time information at the same time.
WHERE IS THE START LINE?
New for 2025, the start line for LLHM 2025 will be on Whitehall.
WHERE IS THE FINISH LINE?
We are very excited that the finish line for LLHM 2025 will be next to Trafalgar Square.
WHY HAS THE ROUTE BEEN REVERSED THIS YEAR?
Due to a military wreath laying ceremony taking place near our traditional finish line exit on race day, we have an exciting opportunity to reverse our route for 2025. We have 20,000 runners taking part this year, our largest LLHM event to date, and our aim is to continue to grow the event year on year, which this new route will hopefully enable us to do.
For more information about our route, please check out our route page.
HAS THE NEW ROUTE BEEN OFFICIALLY MEASURED?
The course has been measured accurately by a grade 1 accredited measurer, provided by our event delivery partner, the Great Run Company.
HOW DO I GET TO THE EVENT?
Around 2-3 weeks before race day, you will receive an email with your starting wave, wave time, and arrival guide – this will help you plan where to go on race morning.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY RACE PACK?
Race packs will be posted out 2-3 weeks before the event, with international race packs being sent out a week earlier.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON'T RECEIVE MY RACE PACK?
In the unlikely event you do not receive your race pack, you will be able to collect a replacement pack or new blank race bib at our Race Pack Collection, between 10am-5pm on Saturday 5th April. This is based at The Clermont, Strand, London, WC2N 5HX.
You will need to bring Photo ID to collect your replacement pack. If you are unable to collect your pack, a friend or family member can do this for you but will need to show an email or text message from you in order to collect the replacement pack.
IS THERE A BAG DROP?
Double decker buses will be used for the LLHM 2025 baggage facility. The buses provide a safe, fast and effective way for you to leave any baggage while you run the event. You will be provided with more information on the location of your bag drop when you receive your arrival guide, 2-3 weeks before the event.
CAN I CHANGE WAVES TO RUN WITH A FRIEND?
Runners are able to drop back to a later wave on race day to run with friends, but are not able to move forward a wave.
Please follow the steps below:
1. Go to your allocated bag drop if you need to drop off your bag.
2. Go to the later wave start.
3. After the race collect your bag from your allocated bag pick-up.
It's really important that runners use the bag drop they are allocated as we have carefully calculated the space needed to safely store everyone's bags.
WILL THERE BE PACERS ON THE DAY?
We are delighted to have XEMPO pacing LLHM 2025. We will have pacers split across our 8 waves. The wave you are allocated will be based on your estimated finish time and the pacers within your wave will reflect this.
Please remember that pacers are limited and that at an event of 20,000 people we cannot guarantee everyone will be able to follow a pacer for their desired time. If you are aiming for a specific time please train accordingly and be ready to manage your own pacing on the day.
WILL THERE BE TOILET FACILITIES ON THE ROUTE?
There will be toilet facilities at different points along the route. The location of these toilets will be marked in your race day guide, which you will receive 2-3 weeks before race day.
WILL THERE BE WATER STATIONS ON THE ROUTE?
There will be water stations at different points along the route. The location of these toilets will be marked in your race day guide, which you will receive 2-3 weeks before race day.
WILL YOU HAVE SANITARY PRODUCTS AVAILABLE ON THE ROUTE?
We are delighted to be partnering again with Beauty Banks, to support our female participants on race day so they can achieve their personal goals. Free sanitary products, including tampons and towels, will be supplied at all our toilet facilities along the route and in the start and finish areas; along with other useful items you might need such as hair ties and tissues. Simply look out for our designated volunteers at the toilet stations, who will be able to help you discreetly with what you need!
CAN I RUN WITH HEADPHONES?
As per our runner T&Cs, the use of headphones is strongly discouraged. We do not disqualify runners but we would encourage you not to wear them for the health and safety of yourself and fellow runners. If you choose to wear them please make sure you are still aware of your surroundings on the route.
I CAN NO LONGER TAKE PART, CAN YOU STILL SEND ME A MEDAL AND FINISHERS T-SHIRT?
Unfortunately, we do not to offer a virtual race option, or post out t-shirts or medals to runners who did not take part on the day. These are only available to participants who cross the finish line.
You could use your race bib if you decide to run at home. However, you will not receive an LLHM 2024 medal or t-shirt. We appreciate that this isn't the news you were hoping for and apologise for any disappointment caused.
CAN I RUN WITH A PRAM OR BUGGY?
Unfortunately, we don’t allow buggies or prams to be pushed by runners on the route for health and safety regulations. Any runners seen with a pram or buggy on the course will be asked to leave the course for the safety of other participants.
CHARITY PLACES
WHAT IS A CHARITY PLACE RUNNER?
Charity place runners are those who sign up to run for a charity and agree to raise a minimum sponsorship pledge. Charities buy places in LLHM and then recruit people to raise money for their cause - in return runners gain entry into the event using one of these charity places.
If you have a charity place and are unsure of the terms of conditions it is best to contact your charity directly, as every charity manages and administers their places differently. LLHM cannot make any decisions about a charity place.
I TOLD A CHARITY I HAVE AN 'OWN PLACE' OR 'BALLOT PLACE' - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
This means that you entered the ballot and were successful in getting a place and would like to use this to raise money for them. If you did not enter the ballot, or were unsuccessful in the ballot then you do not have an 'own place' or 'ballot place'.
It is very important that you do not tell a charity that you have your own place if you do not, otherwise they will think you already have a place in the event and will not allocate one to you, meaning you will not be able to take part.
HOW DO I APPLY TO BE A CHARITY PARTNER?
If you are interested in becoming a charity partner please visit our webpage here. LLHM 2025 charity partner applications have now closed, but our charity team would love to hear from you about partnering for future events.
WHEN WILL CHARITY RUNNERS RECEIVE CONFIRMATION OF THEIR PLACE IN LLHM 2025?
