This alternative route map is tailored for spectathletes (fans and spectators) to highlight how you can get around the route to cheer on your runners at multiple locations. And what’s more, you won’t ever need to cross the route to see it all.

The full walking route is 3.87 miles long and we’ve highlighted the best viewing points along the route that have DJs playing and should allow you to see your runners three times. If you’re walking at a 4mph pace, you should be able to see a 1hr 15 runner at all three points.

Please note that in order to avoid crossing the route you must start on the south side of Homerton Road.

More info below the map!

The Festival Village in the southern end of Hackney Marshes will be open from 07:00 and is the prime spot for seeing the race start and finish. Or why not follow the Fan Hub walking route – you’ll be able to walk between each one faster than your runner, so you’ll get to see them whizz past you more than once.

TRACKING RUNNERS

Once the runners have crossed the start line, family, friends and fans will be able to track participants throughout the route on the official Hackney Moves App. Simply search Hackney Moves on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store to download.

HALF MARATHON RACE START

09:00

The half marathon will start at 09:00 in Hackney Marshes. The first runners are expected back just after 10:00, with majority of runners crossing the finish line between 11:00 and 12:00.

INFORMATION POINTS

We have a Help Desk in the middle of the Festival Village and look out for the marshals roaming around the village wearing red hi-vis vests. They can help you with any questions and provide directions.

VOLUNTEERS

We couldn’t bring such an amazing weekend to you without the time and support provided by volunteers. Look out for them throughout the day, providing energy and cheer in their many different roles from welcoming, marshalling, energy and hydration giving, pacing and rewarding. Do give them a big thanks when you see them and if you want to get involved head to https://www.hackneymoves.com/volunteer
