Half Marathons in London, in context
Verus covers 14 half marathons in London, out of 39 races there — roughly 36% of what is on here.
The dates are spread across 8 months of the year, which gives real choice about when to peak rather than forcing a single date.
Only one of them publishes an elevation figure: The Big Half, at 218ft of climb. Where an organiser has not published one, this site says so rather than estimating.
