Take on one of the world’s most iconic marathons while supporting your local hospice.

London Marathon

Be part of one of the world’s most iconic races and experience the electric atmosphere of the capital as you run past famous landmarks and cheering crowds.

The London Marathon is an unforgettable event for runners of all levels. Whether it’s your first marathon or your fiftieth, St Gemma’s Hospice would be proud to have you on #TeamStGemmas, raising vital funds for local patient care every step of the way.

St Gemma’s Hospice has a small number of places for the London Marathon 2026 but we would be delighted to receive your application to obtain one of these lucrative places. Should you be successful in obtaining a place there is an expectation that you will raise a minimum of £2,000 for St Gemma’s Hospice. The fundraising team will be on hand to support you with this all the way! Please detail in your application how you plan to raise this income.

Applications for the London Marathon will close at 5pm on Monday 9th June and all applicants will be advised if they were successful or not by Friday 20th June 2025.

The fundraising team at St Gemma’s will be on hand to support you throughout your running journey and can’t wait to meet you once you have signed up!

If you have any queries or concerns, then we would be delighted to hear from you at challenges@st-gemma.co.uk
