The competition will run for 10 weeks between the 12th February and race day itself – a winner will be picked each week. That’s 10 opportunities to win!

Marathon Top Tips
Here are some London Marathon top tips from fundraisers who have been in your shoes. Literally.
Get across the start line now
Those who start fundraising three months before event day on average go on to raise twice as much as those who start after.
Wear your name on your shirt
Wear your name on the front of your running shirt – so the crowds shout your name every step of the way!
Link your fitness app
Link your Strava or Fitbit account to your JustGiving page. Your supporters can then see the effort you’re putting into your training.
Always start slow
Aim to do the first three miles in the same time as you will run the last three miles. This applies to training and the big day itself.
Running for Good
To help get you across the finish line we’ve set up Running for Good! Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, take a look at our top tips and recipes or join the community.
