Why Run in the royal parks half marathon?
By taking on the Royal Parks Half Marathon, you’ll not only be embarking on a memorable personal journey but also making a difference in the lives of veterans and individuals with disabilities.

FAQs
What is the fundraising target?
We ask runners who have registered for one of our charity places to raise a minimum of £300. There is no minimum fundraising target for ballot place runners, we only ask you to raise what you can.
Where does the money I raise go?
The money you raise goes to helping our veterans overcome substantial challenges, both physical and mental. We offer accommodation to homeless veterans, long-term housing for disabled veterans and veteran families, and assisted living for elderly veterans. The community we have built has allowed us to offer mental health support, create areas around the village that encourage socialisation and our Lifeworks course which offers a pathway into employment.
What if I don’t reach the fundraising target?
We set the target at £300 to enable us to make a significant impact for our veterans and their families. Now more than ever, charitable funding is vital, and every penny we receive helps RBLI to continue providing compassionate care in a welcoming village.
We’re here to support you with your fundraising. If you have any concerns about reaching the target, please get in touch with one of our friendly team.
How do I create my fundraising page?
You will be sent an email from our team with a JustGiving link so that you can create your fundraising page.
When will I get my running t-shirt?
Your RBLI running t-shirt will be posted to you at least a month before the event.
I can no longer take part, what do I do?
If you can no longer take part in the event, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing [email protected]. The date to withdraw officially is April so that we are not charged for your place.
