'Take on the Giant Treadmill'....

The famous Tumbleator was installed under cover at the event and attracted large crowds at the festival.

Created by London Marathon Events Ltd, in partnership with Sported, The Vitality Big Half is London's community running festival.

What makes The Vitality Big Half unique?

We (London Marathon Events Ltd.) recognise that London’s running events don’t reflect the communities they run through; we want our running events to bring together Londoners of all backgrounds.

The Vitality Big Half is a community running festival for everyone, no matter your age, background or running ability. This is a world-class running event that supports and encourages first-time runners to take part.

We want to create opportunities for people from all backgrounds to experience the health benefits of running – from weight loss and lowered blood pressure to stress management and better quality of sleep
