What if your next running challenge could take you past some of London’s most famous landmarks while helping to create a brighter future for autistic people and their families?

On Sunday 4th April 2027, you can do exactly that by joining #TeamAutismAnglia for the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2027.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, tackling your first half marathon, chasing a new personal best, or looking for an unforgettable fundraising challenge, this is your chance to be part of one of the UK’s most unique running events while making a genuine difference across East Anglia.

A Half Marathon Like No Other

The London Landmarks Half Marathon isn’t your typical road race. As the only half marathon that passes through both the City of London and the City of Westminster, runners enjoy a spectacular route that combines world-famous sights with fascinating hidden corners of the capital.

Along the way, you’ll run past some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including:

• Big Ben
• St Paul’s Cathedral
• The Tower of London
• The London Eye
• And many more historic locations

Every mile tells a story, making the event just as memorable for the scenery and atmosphere as it is for the challenge itself.

From supportive crowds and live entertainment to the incredible sense of achievement at the finish line, the London Landmarks Half Marathon offers an experience that stays with runners long after race day.

Run for Something Bigger

Taking part in a half marathon is a huge achievement. But taking part for Autism Anglia means every training run, every fundraising effort, and every step on race day helps support autistic people and their families across our communities.

Funds raised by #TeamAutismAnglia help us continue delivering vital services throughout the region, including:

• Community Connect advice and support for young people and their families.
• Support services for autistic adults.
• Activities and opportunities through our Connect Centres.
• Community projects that reduce isolation and build confidence

You see, every pound raised helps us continue our mission to support and celebrate autistic people and their families.

So, why Join us?

When you run with Autism Anglia, you become part of a supportive and passionate fundraising team.

As a member of #TeamAutismAnglia, you’ll receive:

✅ A charity running place (subject to availability and application process)

✅ An Autism Anglia running vest

✅ Dedicated fundraising support from our friendly team

✅ Advice, resources, and encouragement throughout your journey

✅ The opportunity to make a lasting impact for autistic people across East Anglia

Whether you’re an experienced runner or taking on your first half marathon, we’ll be with you every step of the way.🙌

Already Have Your Own Place?

Congrats! And good news – you can still join Team Autism Anglia!

If you’ve secured your own place through the event ballot, we’d love to welcome you to the team. You’ll still receive support from our fundraising team and have the opportunity to run for a cause that changes lives.

Every runner helps raise awareness of autism and supports the vital services we provide across the region.

More Than Just a Race

One of the things that makes fundraising events so special is the impact they have beyond the finish line.

Every year, supporters take on challenges for Autism Anglia because maybe they’ve been inspired by someone they know, maybe because they’ve seen the difference autism support can make, or simply because they want to give back to their community.

Whatever your reason for running, you’ll be helping autistic people and families access support, advice, opportunities, and understanding when they need it most.

You’ll also join a wider community of fundraisers committed to creating a more inclusive society where autistic people feel supported, celebrated, and empowered.
