ROAD CLOSURES Sunday 1 August 2021 - London Landmarks Half Marathon

We are writing to advise you that, subject to Public Health and Government guidelines, on Sunday 1 August 2021, the third edition of the London Landmarks Half Marathon (www.llhm.co.uk) will take place in Central London for 14,500 participants and will involve some road closures in your area.

We are closely monitoring advice regarding the pandemic, and are working closely with the local authorities to put a number of measures in place to ensure that the event is delivered to the required safety standards for the participants, spectators, event crew and local residents on event day. We can assure you that the event will only go ahead if Public Health and Government guidelines allow.

The event is organised by baby charity, Tommy's (www.tommys.org) to raise crucial funds, along with fundraising for many other good causes. Over £17m has been raised to date through the first three years of the event. While participants run past some of London’s most iconic landmarks, the race’s new 2021 theme will shine a light on how we are coming together as a nation during the Covid-19 pandemic.

As per previous events, the route will be covering 13.1 miles through both the City of London and City of Westminster to then finish on Whitehall. Road closures will be in place along the route between 05.00 to 19.00, however closure and reopening timings will vary within this timeframe across the route – please refer to the attached document for specific timings in your area.
