The Hackney Half
Held every year in May, the Hackney Half Marathon is one of the ways that people help us to raise money for the night shelter.
The Hackney Half marathon
Last year, over 60 people ran on behalf of Hackney Winter Night Shelter and raised over £20,000 to support the work. Our runners included volunteers, trustees, long-time supporters of the charity and a team from the Hackney Gazette.
Some of our previous year's runners have said:
"The support en route was brilliant and more helpful than I'd expected."
“It was great - really supportive and friendly.”
"Everything was incredible but I was blown away at how well Hackney Winter Night Shelter organised the day from morning until the beers post-race, and seeing the cheering team half way round was a great boost."
2019 Hackney Half
All of our runners receive a Hackney Winter Night Shelter running vest and goodie bag on the day filled with treats to take home, as well as fundraising tips and support in the lead up to the Half. The half marathon is on Sunday 19th May 2019.
