This year Counterpoints is running the Hackney Half

We are excited to share that Counterpoints has signed up to run at the Hackney Half Marathon in May 2026. This incredibly popular run sold out in just two days for general registration and Counterpoints has five runners to signed up who so far have raised a total of almost £3,000!

A huge thank you to Sheena Balkwill, Zarmeeneh Khan, Laura Gibson, Ed Anderton, and Tim Finch for taking this on. We’re so grateful for their effort and support. You can show your support by donating via the link to their individual fundraising page, under each name. Thank you!

The Hackney Half is a run through 13.1 miles of East London on Sunday 17 May 2026. All funds raised will go towards our work to support the arts by and about refugees and migrants, including our national and international programmes like Refugee Week, PopChange and Platforma festival.

We hope you can join us and help support our fantastic runners on the day!
