The Hackney Half is one of the most popular races in the city, which means getting a spot at the event is no easy feat. Good thing then that another half marathon will be hosted in east London this year. After the success of the Run Shoreditch 10K, the organisers (the very same behind the Hackney Half, the Oxford Half and the Saucony London 10K) are turning it onto a half distance race for 2026.

In recent years, the New York Road Runners (NYRR) RBC Brooklyn Half has become recognized as one of the largest half marathons in the country, touting nearly 28,500 participants in 2025. Now in its 44th year, runners will once again embark on a 13.1-mile journey through Brooklyn on Saturday, May 16, starting at Prospect Park (the same spot that the NYC Half, also organized by NYRR, kicks off) and finishing on the famous Coney Island boardwalk.
