About the event
The iconic London Marathon takes in many of the city’s incredible landmarks including Buckingham Palace, The Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf. With thousands of supporters lining the streets cheering your name, it is truly a race like no other.
Our charity places for this event are now full but you can join our waitlist incase a spot opens up. If you already have a place for the marathon through the ballot, we'd love to have you on board. Apply to run for St John's Hospice today!
“I could run these marathons for the rest of my life, and it couldn’t pay St John’s back for the priceless care they gave to Michael and us. We take comfort in the care and support provided to him and so, to be able to give something back for that gift was something I had to do. It has allowed us to take something positive from such a devastating time and I highly recommend it to anyone in the same position.”
Kealan, Runner.
