Hackney Half Marathon 2026
The Hackney Half Marathon is a fantastic event and we want you to join team Leukaemia UK! There will be live entertainment and DJs to keep you inspired, not just at event centres but during the race both at event HQ and out on the course. There will be no need for headphones as the streets will be alive with music, and a buzzing atmosphere.
Runners will cruise down Mare Street through a carnival of sound. You will pass some iconic landmarks and venues, including the famous Town Hall, the historic Broadway Market and Hackney Wick. Keep an eye out for the vibrant street art. To add to this already great mix, the route is flat and fast, making it perfect for anyone doing their first half marathon or looking for a PB.
