The Virgin London Marathon, formerly known as the Flora London Marathon, is recognised as the best marathon in the world. It offers everything that you could want from a race. Every year the race raises over £70 million for charity as well as having a top field of elite runners. In 2010, our 41 runners raised nearly £52,000 for the Lymphoma Association.
The route takes in key London landmarks and the event is brilliantly organised. On top of all that is the excellent atmosphere, over 1 million people are out on the streets come rain or shine to cheer on the participants.
Always wanted to tick it off your 'must do list'? Then why not take part in aid of the Lymphoma Association!
All places have been filled for 2011, but if you would like to take part in the event in 2012, please contact our fundraising team on 01296 619419 / fundraising@lymphomas.org.uk.
