HOKA Hackney Half

Originating in 2014, the Hackney Half has become a highlight of the running year in London. Now one of the largest half marathons in the UK, the race attracts over 24,000 runners each year.

The Hackney Half is renowned for its festive atmosphere, with live music, street art, and a community of supporters, with the capital’s running clubs rallying together to find their spot on the course to cheer runners on.
