The Royal Parks Half Marathon has announced sportswear brand Oysho as its new headline sponsor ahead of this year’s event.
One of the UK’s most popular half marathons, the race attracts more than 18,000 runners every October, taking participants on a 13.1-mile route through four of London’s Royal Parks and past landmarks including Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square and the Houses of Parliament.
Since launching in 2008, the event has raised more than £80 million for over 1,900 charities, making it one of the UK’s biggest charity fundraising races.
As part of the new partnership, Oysho will provide the official finisher T-shirts and kit for event staff. The brand also plans to host training runs, community events and wellness sessions in the lead-up to race day.
Andrew Scattergood, Chief Executive of The Royal Parks, said the partnership reflects the event’s focus on making running accessible and bringing people together through shared experiences.
Founded in Barcelona in 2001, Oysho is part of the Inditex Group and produces technical clothing for running, fitness and outdoor sports.
The 2026 Royal Parks Half Marathon takes place this October, with thousands of runners expected to take to the streets and parks of central London once again.
