"It was a dream; it literally couldn’t have been any better. The weather was cool but there wasn’t any rain, and the crowd were incredible from the get-go. I took out my earphones for the final three miles to soak up the atmosphere, and it was an honour to take part. Plus, you feel like a legitimately professional athlete when you turn a corner to a sea of cheering faces… Which I massively enjoyed." – Jack, London Marathon participant

Please remember the London Marathon is one of the most popular events in the athletics calendar and places do go very quickly. If you are at all interested in taking part in the 2022 London Marathon, please do apply your interest and outline in as much detail as possible the reasons why you’d like to take part for Together for Short Lives.

We know the fundraising target can seem daunting but fear not! The Together for Short Lives team is on hand every step of the way to help you with resources, fundraising ideas and maximising every ounce of your potential. As well as asking friends, family and colleagues for donations, you can also organise extra fundraising activities to reach your goal.

Once you have registered your interest, we will retain your application and get in touch with you closer to the time, hopefully with some good news!
