Unique New Race: the only closed-road half marathon in south London
Run South London is an exciting new closed-road half marathon launching in Merton on Sunday 14 March 2027 as part of a collaboration between Merton Council and The Great Run Company, which operates the world’s biggest half marathon, the Great North Run.
Run South London aims to bring communities together, open doors to healthier lifestyles and help put Merton on the map as a destination for major mass-participation events. It promises to be an exhilarating event.
Large numbers of people are expected to visit the local area – and not just on race day. Organisers anticipate many will stay locally before and after the race, making it a weekend-long experience.
This presents a unique and exciting opportunity for Wimbledon Town Centre businesses, spanning culture and entertainment to leisure and wellness, retail, restaurants, and the hotel and hospitality sectors.
