About the Hackney Half Marathon

After the sell-out events of 2024 and 2025, come and see what the buzz is all about at the iconic 2026 Hackney Half Marathon!

The fantastic route showcases the historic Broadway Market and vibrant street art of East London, with live bands and entertainment throughout the course, this isn’t just a race, it’s a full-on festival.

How to get started

  • Express your interest here
  • Pick a fundraising option: You can choose to have a minimum fundraising target or pay outright for your place and raise what you can. Please see the bottom of this page for the options.

How we’ll support you

Whether it’s your first time taking on challenge event or you’re back for more, we’re here to make sure you have the best time every step of the way.

As part of Team Breathe you’ll receive:

  • A Breathe t-shirt or vest so you look the part on the day

  • Tips and advice to help you smash your fundraising target

On the day you’ll get:

 Fundraising options

There are 3 options available, full sponsorship, mixed funding and self funding with the registration costs starting at £30 depending on your distance.

Option 1: Self Funding

If you select this option you pay for the full price of your place which is £125. You can then set your own fundraising target of how much you’d like to raise for Breathe.

Option 2: Mixed Funding for a Charity

This option includes a £50 registration fee to sign up and Breathe would cover the other half. The minimum amount you need to fundraise for Breathe would be £500 (but if you can raise more than that it would be amazing!)

Option 3 Full Sponsorship for a Charity

This option includes a £30 registration fee to sign up and Breathe would cover the full cost of your place. The minimum amount you need to fundraise for Breathe would be £750 (again if you can raise more than that it would be EVEN more amazing!)

 

If the Hackney Half doesn’t take your fancy, there are plenty more open challenges available!
