City Of London

There are many ways to support the LLHM and with 20,000 runners and 80,000 spectators, we are offering a unique opportunity to boost your awareness, drive footfall, and align with an event that’s raised over £73 million for the charity sector since 2018.

If you're a City of London-based organisation interested in partnering with us in any capacity at the event, we'd love to hear from you. Please get in touch at [email protected].

The Route

We’re proud to be the only half marathon to run through the City of London. Our spectacular route takes runners past some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral, the Monument, and the Bank of England. It also showcases some of the capital’s hidden gems, such as London’s oldest tea shop, the site of William Shakespeare’s home, and Pudding Lane — where the Great Fire of London began.

We’re privileged to have the historic Bow Bells ring out on race day, adding a uniquely London touch to the event. These famous bells, from St Mary-le-Bow Church in the City of London, are steeped in legend and tradition — a sound truly symbolic of the capital.

We’re also deeply grateful to City of London Mayor Gregory Jones for supporting LLHM 2025, and honoured by the ongoing backing of City dignitaries. Their presence helps make our race day even more special.

Partners

In previous years, we have partnered with some amazing businesses in the City of London including:

• Shake Shack
• Andaz London
• The Golden Hinde
• City Cruises

Volunteers & Performers

We continue to work with volunteers within the City of London, such as City of London and North East Sector Army Cadets, who volunteered at our Lower Thames Street water station while cheering our runners on. A highlight of our route is the Roman Reception at Guildhall Yard, where our fantastic volunteers bring London’s Roman history to life.

We have also partnered with some fantastic City of London based performers, such as London City Brass who support our Right Royal History Activation, keeping our runners pumped with their energetic brass tunes. 

We have also worked with Guildhall Youth Choir, who alongside our volunteers, bring to life London's transport history and sing popular music at our All Aboard Activation.

Performing at LLHM 2026 is a unique opportunity to play beneath some of London’s most iconic landmarks and in front of thousands of spectators — all while being part of a growing event that gets bigger and better every year.
