Hackney Half Marathon

Minimum fundraising target: £200
Registration fee: £40

We had a fantastic time at the 2021 and 2022 Hackney Half with our fabulous Fiorentini fundraisers raising over £7000 for the Fiorentini Foundation. A huge congratulations to all that took part and thank you to our fantastic runners for doing us proud. If you are inspired to try it this year, it is never too early to register your interest and start training…

We are now seeking a group of runners to take part in the Hackney Half Marathon 2023 to raise vital funds for the Fiorentini Foundation. The pandemic has had a devastating impact on many young people and with the crisis widening the attainment gap, provisions like ours have become essential. The money you raise will make a tangible difference through initiatives like our Bursary Scheme which provides free places at our schools.

Hackney has a very special place in our heart as our founder, Anna Fiorentini, was born and bred there and set up our first not-for-profit school in Hackney in 2001. This iconic 13.1 miles race will take you through the vibrant streets of East London on a largely flat course. This event is a great way to motivate you to keep fit in these summer months. Knowing that you’re supporting a good cause and raising money for a local charity can give you a sense of purpose and the boost you need to get up and move. You’ll experience a plethora of health benefits, not only to your physical body, but to your mental health as you challenge yourself to help your local community.

If you register for the race through us, you’ll get a t-shirt and online fundraising pack with details on how to raise money. So if you can hack the Hackney Half, click the button below to register your interest.
