Half marathons
Looking for your next big challenge? Have a go at a half!
We have plenty of heroic half marathons that you can take on.
Whether you want to take on one of London’s iconic half marathons such as the Hackney Half, London Landmarks or Royal Parks. Or one of the biggest half marathons from across the UK such as Bath, Manchester or Cardiff. No matter where it is, you’ll get to soak up the incredible crowd’s support throughout the course. You’ll also get to see well-known tourist sites in unique ways.
Some of these events are already sold out directly with the event organisers but a place through us is guaranteed.
Check out all the half marathon challenges on offer and sign up to fundraise for Girlguiding today.
If you can’t find a specific event, keep checking back as new events are added throughout the year.
Girls experience the thrill of doing something for the first time with Girlguiding and go home full of stories of adventure. After taking on a heroic half marathon, so will you! And, by fundraising for Girlguiding, you’ll also be making a real difference in girls’ lives and helping girls know they can do anything.
