London Marathon

The London Marathon is one of the greatest most challenging races in the world and there are many reasons to take part. Perhaps you’re looking for a personal challenge, to keep fit or wish to show your support for young people's mental health.

Join the YoungMinds team

If you choose to join the YoungMinds Marathon Team we’ll support you every step of the way with a complete support package that includes:

  • Dedicated support from a member of the fundraising team, to ensure you meet, and even exceed, your fundraising target
  • A fundraising support pack
  • A free YoungMinds breathable running vest
  • Training and Nutritional Advice
  • Cheering points along the route to help you keep going

If you’d like to join our team for the London Marathon 2008, there are two options.

If you don’t have a place yet:

YoungMinds holds a number of Gold Bond places in the London Marathon that will next take place on 13th April 2008. To take one of these guaranteed places in the race, we ask you to commit to raising a minimum of £1,500 in sponsorship.

Don’t worry if this sounds like an impossible target, you’ll be surprised how simple it can be and we’ll support you all the way.

If you would like to apply for a Gold Bond place, please contact us.

If you already have a place:

If you already have a place in the 2008 London Marathon, you can still run on behalf of YoungMinds. There is no minimum sponsorship for you to join the team and we’ll help you with both your training and fundraising.
