What time does the Hackney Half start?

The event is set to start at 09:00. Start times for each participant will be emailed out to you roughly 2 weeks before the event date, please check your spam folder.

There is a race cut-off time of 3 hours and 30 minutes for each runner, after which any runners still on the course will be asked to move to the pavements so that we can give Hackney residents their roads back!
