About the event
The iconic London Marathon takes in many of the city’s incredible landmarks including Buckingham Palace, The Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf. With thousands of supporters lining the streets cheering your name, it is truly a race like no other.
By running as part of Team St John’s you will not only join the over one million people who can proudly say, “I ran the London Marathon” but you will be helping us to provide quality, holistic care when it is needed most.
Our charity places for 2025 are now open! Apply for one of our limited spaces by 4th August 2025 by clicking 'Apply for a charity place.'
If you have entered the 2025 TCS London Marathon Ballot and are lucky enough to gain your own place in July but would still like to fundraise as part of #TeamStJohns, you can let us know by completing our own place application form here. As an own place runner, there is no minimum fundraising target. We just ask that you raise as much as you can to help us enable people to live well for as long as possible.
“I could run these marathons for the rest of my life, and it couldn’t pay St John’s back for the priceless care they gave to Michael and to us. We take comfort in the care and support provided to him and so, to be able to give something back for that gift was something I had to do. It has allowed us to take something positive from such a devastating time and I highly recommend it to anyone in the same position.”
Kealan, Runner.
