The Big Half is an annual road running competition over the half marathon distance (21.1 km), held in central London, United Kingdom. The event usually takes place in early March, a few weeks before the London Marathon. The competition attracts both mass and elite participation. Mo Farah and Charlotte Purdue are both two-time winners of the event.[1][2][3][4][5]
