Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

The Royal Parks Foundation Half Marathon is by far the most beautiful half marathon to take place in London. As one of the most enjoyable and memorable events in the running calendar, it is definitely not to be missed!

Starting and finishing at the heart of Hyde Park, the race takes a scenic route past Green Park, St James’s Park, the Victoria Embankment and Kensington Gardens. Runners and spectators will enjoy magnificent views of Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and much more.

Once again, there will be a fantastic variety of activities going on in and around the event area for all the family. As in previous years, the event will be as environmentally friendly as possible to celebrate the amazing wildlife and heritage of the Royal Parks.

This is an amazing opportunity to take part in a great challenge and see the sights all in one day. Run as part of the St Mungo’s team and help make a difference to the lives of homeless people.

For more information on the event visit royalparkshalf.com or visit mungos.org to run as part of the team

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

After another successful Cardiff Half in 09 the Leggit team simply can’t wait for the next Cardiff Half Marathon in 2010 on 17th October.

Pete Morton, our resident PT took place in this years event and achieved an impressive time of 1h:21m:16s, placing him within the top 2% of competitors at position 103 – now of course we are biased but that’s pretty rapid!

Quoted as “one of the best halves around” the Cardiff Half Marathon is a picturesque course which takes runners through the city past some of the city’s most well known landmarks such as the castle, the museum and the bay… but thats not why we love it. The best thing about the Cardiff 1/2 Marathon is that the course if flat and its fast - attracting runners from all over to compete and take part in this event.

The 2009 men’s race was won by 19 year old Simon Lawson, who matched the British under 20s Half Marathon record – Congratulations Simon! The women’s race was won by Genet Measso who completed the course in a staggering 1h:15m:01s.

The race, which is organised by Barnardo’s, one of the UK’s leading children’s charities is now into it’s 8th year and has been growing in popularity since its conception in 2003. You can register up to 15th September 2010 but the race does have an entrance cap and with 12,000 runners anticipated for 2010 it’s probably worth registering early to avoid disappointment.

So what are you waiting for? Why not register for the Cardiff Half Marathon 2010 today? You can even download a FREE Half Marathon Training programme from Leggit.co.uk to help you prepare for the event!
