The Big Half 2027
Lead the Charge
5 Sep 2027
An incredible opportunity to run part of the iconic London Marathon course
on fully closed roads, The Big Half is a vibrant half marathon beginning at
Tower Bridge and finishing by the famous Cutty Sark in Greenwich, taking
in four London boroughs along the way. With Save the Rhino, you can join the festival atmosphere and run for a cause that truly matters. Every mile you run and every pound you raise helps conserve rhinos, protect vital habitats, and support the people living alongside rhinos, as well as the rangers at the heart
of rhino conservation.
