EVENT

Ealing Half Marathon

The award-winning Ealing Half Marathon is back once again and will take place on Sunday , 26 September 2021 .

It could not take place last year because of COVID-19 restrictions but the race , which is endorsed by Ealing Council , has been able to return and will begin in Lammas Park at 9am .

Up to 5,000 runners are expected to take part , along with thousands of spectators and hundreds of volunteers . Many of the runners are raising money for charity .
If you are planning on cheering on the runners , the 13.1-mile course will cover parts of Montpelier , Pitshanger , Central Ealing and Hanwell before returning to Lammas Park via Uxbridge Road .
ROAD CLOSURES To ensure the safety of participants and spectators , all the roads that the event passes through will be closed to traffic at some stage during the event .
To minimise any disruption to residents , the race organisers will close roads as the lead runner approaches and attempt to re-open roads no later than 15 minutes after the last runner has passed by in Montpelier , Pitshanger and Central Ealing . All other areas remain closed until the times stated to allow runners to return to Lammas Park safely .
Movement around the course before the race starts will require your cooperation as course checks are carried out and equipment is put in place .
The first roads will close from 7am on the day of the event and it is anticipated that all roads will reopen by 1pm .
Affected buses that operate in the area will be on diversion from 6.30am until 1pm on 26 September .
