Why run for Christian Aid?

When you run for Christian Aid, you’re joining us in hope.

You'll be standing with a global community to make change that lasts, no matter how tough it gets. You'll be helping communities to make their voices heard and ensuring that Christian Aid funded partners have the means to create solutions on their own terms.

The whole organisation from the events hub was really great. Everything was very smooth and whenever I had questions, they always responded pretty much straight away!

What is the TCS London Marathon?

The TCS London Marathon is the world's premier fundraising event, uniting tens of thousands of individuals annually in a spirit of community and advocacy. 

The London Marathon presents an incredible opportunity for participants to embark on a memorable journey through the vibrant streets of London, covering a challenging 26.2 mile (42.2 km) route. Along the way, runners will be treated to awe-inspiring views of iconic landmarks, including Tower Bridge, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. More than just a race, this event is embraced by many as a chance to embrace personal growth and support charitable causes close to their hearts.

Whether it's your first marathon or you’re a seasoned pro, a TCS London Marathon charity place is about more than just running - It's about changing lives. From sign up to the finish line, you'll be part of a supportive team that can't wait to help you reach your goals and make a difference.
