Ealing Half Marathon lands major sponsorship deal with Wizz Air

Low-cost airline Wizz Air has signed a three-year deal to become the title sponsor of the Ealing Half Marathon.

More than 8,000 runners are expected to take part when the Ealing Half Marathon returns on Sunday 27 September 2026.

The race, which was launched in 2012, attracts competitors from across London and beyond and has grown into west London’s largest running event.

Sandra Courtney, founder and event director of the Ealing Half Marathon, said: “Having Wizz Air join us as headline sponsor in 2026 is a genuine milestone – not just for the event, but for everyone who has run, volunteered, or stood on the pavement cheering a stranger on.”

The sponsorship will also see the race become part of the airline’s WIZZ Run Series, which links a number of running events across Europe.

Yvonne Moynihan, managing director of Wizz Air UK, said: “We’re proud to be the title sponsor of an event that brings people together and inspires participation.”

Tom Kerry, chair and trustee of We Run Ealing, added: “With Wizz Air now on board as title sponsor, we can secure the future of this inspiring event, help it grow and share that #EalingFeeling far and wide.”
