For the first time ever, all our amazing Team Tommy's runners will start in the same wave and create a spectacular sea of pink at the LLHM start line. We can’t wait to see thousands of Tommy’s runners come together at the start line in their own dedicated wave. This special moment will bring together our amazing community who have played a pivotal role in supporting Tommy’s work to help end the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss.
The Tommy's Wave is Wave 4, starting at 9:50am.
All Team Tommy's runners have automatically been allocated the Tommy's Wave - so you're already in!
Please keep an eye out for your arrival instructions in the Race Day Guide which you will receive from the LLHM Team soon. Tommy's photographers will also be there to capture some group photos in your starting area.
Remember to wear your Tommy's top on race day and help us create a sea of pink.
There will be a range of pacers in the Tommy's wave covering estimated finish times from 1hr30 to 3h00+. Your official Tommy's wave pacers are:
Scott Burrell - 1h30 | Emma Dalzell - 1h40 | Charlie Abrines - 1h45
Sophie Bankes - 1h50 | Oskar Mahony - 2h00 | Chris Raveney - 2h10
Sarah Carter - 2h15 | Imtiaz Hasham - 2h20 | Bernard Linares - 2h30
Susan Feechan - 2h40 | Kirsten Ashman 3h00+
If you can't make this wave, although you will not be able to move forward a wave, you will be able to drop back and join waves 5-8 which set off at:
Wave 5 - 10:10 | Wave 6 – 10:20 | Wave 7 – 10:30 | Wave 8 – 10:40
Please let us reassure you that you will be able to run completely at your own pace on race day.
However, if you would like to you can start in a later wave. There’s no need to let LLHM organisers know that you are moving back a wave.
If you do move back a wave, please ensure you are using the bag drop allocated to your original wave. Please just follow the steps below:
1. Go to your allocated bag drop if you need to drop off your bag.
2. Go to the later wave start.
3. After the race collect your bag from your allocated bag pick-up.
It's really important that runners use the bag drop they are allocated as LLHM have carefully calculated the space needed to safely store everyone's bags.
In line with LLHM policy, runners cannot move forward a wave. However, if your friend is in an earlier wave they will be able to drop back to join you in wave 4 – the Tommy’s wave. Or, if your friend is in a later wave, you can drop back to join them in their wave.
There’s no need to let the London Landmarks Half Marathon organisers or us know if anyone is dropping back waves.
If either you or your friend does move waves, please ensure you use the bag drop for your original allocated wave.
Please see the steps below:
1. Go to your allocated bag drop if you need to drop off your bag.
2. Go to the later wave start.
3. After the race collect your bag from your allocated bag pick-up.
