Run the London Landmarks Half Marathon as part of our #WishHero team, because every child deserves to wish for more than a life defined by illness​.

About the event

The London Landmarks Half Marathon is a fantastic closed road, central London run and is the only half marathon to go through both the City of London and City of Westminster. From cultural landmarks and heritage to the city's quirky and hidden secrets, runners get to explore the capital on a route like no other!

The race starts by Pall Mall, finishes by Downing Street and has fabulous views of London’s most iconic landmarks including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Nelson’s Column, the Shard, the Tower of London and the London Eye.

Why run for us in the London Landmarks Half Marathon?

By supporting Make-A-Wish UK and becoming a #WishHero in the 2026 London Landmarks Half Marathon, you'll be transforming the lives of children like Kate, who wished 'to meet and train with my gymnastics idol'. Her wish was made possible because of #WishHeroes like you.

Kate's wish

9 years old

London

"I wish to meet and train with my gymnastics idol"

Resilient Kate, age nine from London, doesn’t let cystic fibrosis get in the way of her love for gymnastics. Life will never be simple for Kate, which is why having her wish to meet and train with her idol, gymnast Alice Kinsella, allowed her to enjoy being a child, forgetting about the complexities of her condition whilst tumbling, jumping, and doing all sorts of moves with 'her hero'.

Read about Kate's wish

"They go through so much – they don’t get a say in their treatment, we have to tell them where to go, where to be. She’s forced to do things she didn’t ask for. But the wish is her wish, it’s something she can control and is something that they can enjoy. If it wasn’t for people donating to charities like Make-A-Wish, I don’t know if she would be able to have that experience. It’s a memory that we’ll treasure and will last forever."

Kate's mum
