Important Event Announcement
As you may know, the organisers of London Landmarks Half Marathon cancelled the 2020 event due to the restrictions of Coronavirus.
LLHM have announced the 2021 event will be taking place on 23 May 2021 instead of 28 March 2021. The full statement from the organisers can be found here.
LLHM was set to raise over £200,000 in 2020 to help us grant wishes to children across the UK. 2,000 children’s wishes are currently waiting to be granted as soon as it is safe for us to do so.
What happens next?
The organisers have let us know that places from this year’s event unfortunately cannot be rolled over to 2021. We have submitted our charity application to buy places in the 2021 event. We are waiting to hear the outcome and will update all our runners as soon as we can.
Until we have further details from the organisers, we are not able to offer any deferrals to 2021.
In the meantime, we have prepared some questions which we think you’re likely to have below:
