The Vitality Big Half – London’s most exciting half-marathon – returns for 2020.

The 2019 Vitality Big Half will once again feature: The Little Half, a family-friendly run for all ages and abilities; The Big Relay, which sees teams of four from the host boroughs of Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lewisham and Greenwich, run The Vitality Big Half in four legs.
