Tommy's Event Day Guides
Our on-the-day and spectator guides will be published W/C 17th March.
Tommy's Pink Carpet
We know how much it means to have some fantastic photos to look back on and share, to remind yourself and your friends and family of your amazing achievement. We want to provide you with a fun and Tommy's-themed backdrop where you can celebrate being a half-marathon finisher and get some great photos to remember the moment! So come along and smile for the camera with your friends, walk the pink carpet in your Tommy's top, and you can even have a pre or post-race interview with us if you'd like to, as a superstar should.
Cheerpoints
Music of London ft. Drumatic
Prepare to let the groove take over as you're transported through the Music of London cheerpoint. London is famous for its rich and diverse musical history, and as a vibrant and thriving hub for musicians, and we want to celebrate the creativity that London has to offer.
We're so excited to be joined by the incredible Dhol drumming band, Drumatic, at this cheerpoint. Drumatic have performed at a huge variety of events and provide a space to learn and play a vast range of Dhol drum music. Get ready for a moving and grooving cheerpoint where you’ll find yourself running to the beat of the Dhol and the cheers for Team Tommy's.
Rainbow Cheerpoint
Our Tommy's Rainbow Cheerpoint is back for another year, with it's bright pink banners and our epic DJ Truck. The rainbow is a symbol of hope and in memory of all babies loved and never forgotten, and. It is the central theme to this cheer point.It also celebrates the work of The Tommy’s Rainbow Clinic. Based in Manchester, and led by Professor Alex Heazell and lead midwife Louise Stephens; the Rainbow Clinicis a specialist service for women and their families in a pregnancy following a stillbirth or neonatal death.
The Rainbow Cheerpoint is a fantastic place to send friends and family to spectate as it's roughly halfway through the run and there is lots of open space.
Our Rainbow Cheer Point is kindly being sponsored by Moore Kingston Smith. This helps Tommy's cover the cost of materials and they will also be providing lots of volunteer cheerers too.
Celebrating Tommy's Beginnings
To kickstart the LLHM route you will travel over Westminster Bridge passing the very place where Tommy's was founded, St Thomas' Hospital. You'll find us at the U-turn on Westminster Bridge, to send you off on a high note.
Tommy's was founded in 1992 in a broom cupboard at St Thomas' Hospital by Dr Ian Fergusson, Dr Anthony Kenney and one of their patients Lucy Nelson.
We'll be celebrating Tommy's with a classic open top double decker bus surrounded by the fabulous Rock Choir.
Photographers
We'll be stationing our Tommy's photographers at all the major Tommy's locations, from the Start Line, to the Tommy's cheer points, and the pink carpet. We can't promise we'll get a photo of everyone, but we'll certainly try our best. We've highlighted just a few of our favourite photos from previous LLHM's below:
Volunteering
We have some lovely ways non-runners can get involved on event day. Either cheering on our dedicated runners along the route as they tackle the 13.1 miles, or being a Team Tommy's official photographer. Fill out our volunteering form to get involved.
