Pip & Nut returns to the Royal Parks Half for a third year

Pip & Nut is back as an official sponsor of the Oysho Royal Parks Half Marathon, marking a third consecutive year with the London race. The 13.1-mile event takes place on Sunday 11 October, winding through Hyde Park, The Green Park, St James's Park and Kensington Gardens.

Race day doubles as a launchpad for the brand's new stuffed oat bars in Honey Nut and Cinnamon Bun, which will be sampled at the finish line and across the race village. Pip & Nut is also bringing a branded cheer point with a DJ and megaphone, plus a village hub featuring a toast bar, photobooth and relaxation space, and a VIP tent for community members running their first half.

Join European founders, operators, and investors who read The Checkout every week.

The sponsorship fits a wider push into the running scene, from run clubs and shakeout sessions to major half marathons.

"This partnership has been a brilliant way to strengthen our running roots," said marketing director Jacq Ellis-Jones.

Founded in London in 2015, Pip & Nut is now stocked in more than 40,000 outlets and bought by over 2.4 million households.
