Run for The Reader: London Landmarks Half Marathon 2027
Sunday 4 April
Applications open NOW!

‘The distance is nothing when one has a motive’ Pride and Prejudice

We have five spaces available for you to take part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon. With every step you'll be supporting Shared Reading projects across the UK, helping people at all stages and walks of life find joy and connection through the power of literature and reading together. From Reading Heroes - helping care-experienced children discover a love of books and reading, to Shared Reading groups where people can be part of something more — finding community and connection through the good times and the challenging ones.

Join The Reader's team and receive dedicated support and the opportunity to get to know your fellow runners. With only five places available in this year's race, please apply early to guarantee your spot.
