Urban festival vibes

A Half Marathon with a difference. Set your 2027 off to the right start by calling your crew to the Hackney Half start line on Sunday 16th May.

The Hoka Hackney Half is a highlight of London’s running calendar. This is an unforgettable weekend of movement, sport and entertainment.

Expect pure vibrancy as the borough comes alive for a weekend of celebration.

What are the highlights? 

  • The route showcases the personality of East London – think street art and murals, trendy neighbourhoods combined with industrial and creative spaces – it’s modern and urban.
  • Experience live music and DJs throughout the route with bands on street corners and DJ stages creating a party vibe to keep you going. 
  • Crowds pack the pavements, especially in busy areas like Shoreditch and Dalston. 
  • Diversity and inclusivity with runners of all levels and a strong local community presence. It feels welcoming and less formal than some of the more traditional races.
