RUN THE LONDON MARATHON FOR MILESHYCLUB
MileShyClub has been a registered charity (charity no. 1183949) since 2019. Our aim is to help people from all walks of life get more physically active. We work particularly with those who have long term health conditions, disabilities, those from under-represented communities and those with poor mental health.
We are delighted to have been successful in obtaining a charity place in the 2026 TCS London Marathon which takes place on Sunday 26th April. London Marathon is more than just a race - it’s a movement that changes lives. In 2025 runners raised a record breaking £75milllion for charity - that’s the power of purpose!
We are now welcoming applications from runners who would like to run the 2026 London marathon for us. We are asking applicants to fundraise a minimum of £1,500 and pay a registration fee of £150. You will also be required to wear a MileShyClub tee or vest on the day. Funds will be raised through the online platform Enthuse, details on how to sign up to this will be sent to you after the place has been allocated.
Whilst you’ll have the benefit of our fifteen running clubs and eight walking groups cheering you on, we are keen to hear on how you plan to fundraise the amount required. You do not necessarily have to be a member of MileShyClub to run the London Marathon for us. Applications will be shortlisted then reviewed by VCSE (voluntary, charitable, social enterprise) leaders from the communities where we operate who will make a final decision.
Applications are due in by Friday 31st October with the final decision made by Friday 14th November 2025. Good luck!
