Organiser's Description
Each year, the event brings together people from all backgrounds to enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of running. After what has been a challenging time for many of us, we'd love you to be a part of The Vitality Big Half 2021.
The Vitality Big Half takes place six weeks before this year's Virgin Money London Marathon on Sunday 3 October, making it perfect preparation if you're training for an autumn marathon! The deadline for entries is Sunday 8th August!
The New Balance Big Relay is a great way to take on The Vitality Big Half as a team of family members, friends or work colleagues. It takes place on Sunday August 22 on the same stunning central London course as The Vitality Big Half, from Tower Bridge to Cutty Sark, just split into four legs – so you’ll be able to soak up the fun and exciting atmosphere of the mass participation event without having to go the full distance! Entries close on Monday 16th August.
