Thousands of runners took part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon in central London, with participants including club runners, charity fundraisers, celebrities, and first-time entrants.

"It's right up there with some of my proudest achievements," she says of the street art. "It's coming up seven years and even with the Dunfermline weather, it's still managed to stay on."

The NYLBC currently has about over 100 members, many of whom found the sport after accidentally coming upon it in Central Park and asking what they were looking at.

"I saw people who never knew each other [before] meet at the event and develop strong relationships. A lot of people came just to watch and be part of that community. That's when I knew this was special."

Bertelli describes 'Agon' as a hybrid of documentary, drama, and video game aesthetics, aiming to capture the feeling of scrolling through YouTube with its fast and slow pacing.

The changes will see 87 apartments built across three blocks as part of Phase Five of the development, instead of 20 townhouses developer Qatari Diar originally asked for.

'With the recent news that the building's redevelopment is on track for autumn 2027, our inbox has been overflowing with residents asking if we'll be involved,' says the Castle in a statement.

It's just been so fun to rep the flag of south London, of Croydon. Community is important, sometimes it does lack, especially in big cities, so it's been really nice now to bring community together.

The increase is being largely driven by the Gen Z population, as basketball is now the 6th most popular sport among the 18-24 year old demographic. Despite there being major continental competitions across Europe like the EuroLeague and EuroCup, basketball is a sleeping giant that is awakening in the UK. This movement is likely to cause a massive shift in the sport's associated betting markets as well, but the big question of whether basketball can break into the mainstream remains.

The Hackney Half is one of the most popular races in the city, which means getting a spot at the event is no easy feat. Good thing then that another half marathon will be hosted in east London this year. After the success of the Run Shoreditch 10K, the organisers (the very same behind the Hackney Half, the Oxford Half and the Saucony London 10K) are turning it onto a half distance race for 2026.

The huge, roaring screenings, the pubs' fizzling energy, the general sense of revelry in the streets... not to mention the ecstasy if and when England win. The joy of last summer's Lionesses Euros triumph is certainly still fresh in our memories. England and Scotland are already qualified for the 2026 World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States, while Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland could all still compete in North America in June.
