Royal Parks Half Marathon – Nystagmus Network

Run the Royal Parks

The Royal Parks Half Marathon is a spectacular run through central London – the first and only one of its kind. The stunning 13.1 mile route takes in the capital’s world-famous landmarks on closed roads, and four of London’s eight Royal Parks – Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James’s Park and Kensington Gardens.

Stephen ran the Royal Parks for the Nystagmus Network in 2021, raising £370.

The 2019 Royal Parks Half Marathon will take place on Sunday, 13 October 2019. Billed as one of the country’s most picturesque routes, the run takes in some major London landmarks as well as the beautiful autumnal colours of the parks at that time of year.

This year Clare ran for Jessica. Read her story here.

Clare did it for nystagmus and for Jessica

Clare ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon on Sunday 14 October to raise money for the Nystagmus Network in honour of Jessica, who was born with the condition.

The Royal Parks Half is billed as one of the most picturesque runs in the country, but, sadly, the beautiful autumnal colours were a little washed out by the rain.

Undeterred, Clare has raised almost £900 in sponsorship for the charity and made the whole nystagmus community proud.

After her run she said: “At mile 5 I saw someone with Nystagmus who screamed out and made me so emotional I cried till mile 6!”

THANK YOU, CLARE!
