Why run for Shelter?
Running for Team Shelter means you'll be making a huge difference to the thousands of children in Britain who wake up every day without a permanent place to call home.
'This was my first half marathon and I enjoyed every moment of it! The training was tough, but I enjoyed raising money with family and friends as I knew it would be going to a fantastic cause. I hope that you'll join Shelter at Royal Parks Half Marathon 2013 as the money you raise will make a real difference to those in need.'
— Alix, Team Shelter runner – Royal Parks Half Marathon 2012

About the Royal Parks Half
The Royal Parks Half Marathon started out in 2008 to raise funds supporting the capital's eight Royal Parks. It's also one of the UK’s most popular running events, already raising £15m for charitable causes around the country.
We say...
'The beautiful route is just one of the reasons this race grows in popularity every year. Join Team Shelter and help us help those in desperate housing need.'
