The Big Half 2025

Sunday 7 September 2025

Run The Big Half in aid of Pilgrims on Sunday 7 September 2025!

Set in the heart of London, The Big Half is the perfect late-season challenge for runners of all abilities, that gives you the chance to train throughout the summer. Starting by London’s iconic Tower Bridge, the 13.1-mile closed-road race follows much of the route made famous by the London Marathon. You’ll run through Limehouse and Canary Wharf before crossing Tower Bridge to the south bank and onward to a finish at the historic Cutty Sark in Greenwich.

The Big Half is much more than a half marathon. It’s a community running festival and everyone is invited!

The atmosphere was fantastic and I absolutely loved every single minute of it! There was plenty of live music along the way to keep a spring in our steps, and running through the streets of London and across Tower Bridge is an amazing experience!
