How you can run for Children in Crisis in the Virgin london marathon 2011

The Virgin London Marathon is the world's largest marathon. Could you rise to the challenge and get through those grueling 26.2 miles, having raised funds to give children a real second chance in life?

Get inspired by taking a look at the 44 runners who completed the London Marathon 2010 for Children in Crisis...

There are two ways that you can apply for a place in the 2011 Virgin London Marathon.

Ballot Places

The ballot has now closed. It will be announced in October.

If you do secure your own place in the ballot we would love you to join the Children in Crisis London Marathon Team as an own place runner, and help raise funds to support our work in the UK and overseas. You will get the same benefits as the Gold Bond runners. If you would like to join our team as an own place runner, please download and fill in our Own Place Application Form. Please send your application form by either emailing Lucyp@childrenincrisis.org (or if you prefer, call Lucy Porter on 0207 627 1040 and we will send or email you a copy.)

Gold Bond Places

Children in Crisis has a number of secured places in the London Marathon - known as 'Gold Bond' places. We pay for these places, and ask for a minimum level of sponsorship. We have a limited number of places, so if you would like to apply for a place, please do so as soon as possible!

To apply for one of our gold bond charity places, you will need to fill in the Children in Crisis Gold Bond Place application form, which you can download (or if you prefer, call Lucy Porter on 020 7627 6743 and she will send or email you a copy), and if you are successful in securing a place we contact you with further information. 

As a member of the Children in Crisis London Marathon running team you will receive constant support from our challenges team with fundraising advice and training guides, fundraising materials to help you reach your sponsorship target and a brand spanking new Children in Crisis running vest to sport on the big day!  We also hold a post race party stumbling distance from the finishing line which we hope you will attend.
