Most of the famous spring races fill up months ahead: London, Paris, Tokyo and the Berlin Half all ran their ballots in 2026. But plenty of good races in spring 2027 are still open, and you can sign up today.
These are the half marathons and marathons in our list from February to June 2027 that were open when we last checked, in date order.
Sign up, then book a room you can cancel. Open races still sell out, and hotels near the start fill up before they do.
