A marathon is not about the running...

We all get inspired when London Marathon comes around don't we? Maybe a little teary too (just me...?) Watching the smiles, the tears, the hugs. Hearing the stories, the hardships, the struggles. The effort people put into what really matters to to them. "The things you do for those you love" were the words I etched into the runners wall when I took on the London Marathon back in 2018. Because, in truth, it's not about the running... (you don't start sobbing at park run on a Saturday do you!)

Instead, it's about individuals committing themselves to something they never thought they could do, simply because their reason why is so much bigger than their self doubt.

Committing themselves to doing hard things for what really matters to them, for those that they love, to raise money to create positive change in this world. Committing themselves because, whilst they know that running a marathon is no easy feat, they also know that it is nothing in comparison to the challenges others face.

This is why we call these people heroes and why we are so incredibly proud of all our heroes who ran the London Marathon and the Manchester Marathon for us this year, as well as all our other runners taking on 10km's and half marathon events through this year.

If you would like to sign up and run a 5km, 10km, half marathon, marathon (whatever distance you want) on behalf of us, we have so many races available for you, including the London Landmarks half, The Great North Run, plenty of 10kms all around the country.
