What is a charity place?

Asthma + Lung UK have a number of places in the London Marathon 2025. People can apply for one of our charity places, and if their application is successful, run for us and raise money in the fight for lung health!

When is the London Marathon?

add remove

The London Marathon will take place on Sunday 27 April. 

How much is the registration fee?

If your application is successful and you are offered one of our charity places, the registration fee to confirm your place is £85. 

How much do I have to raise?

When you sign up you’ll pledge to raise £2000 to support our vital work. That could be enough to fund 50 days of lifesaving research, which would go a long way to helping people with lung conditions.

Where is the money raised going?

The money raised by taking part in the London Marathon will help us to continue to fight for lung health. We do this by funding world-leading research to help change millions of lives, providing services that support thousands of people across the country and leading campaigns that help make lasting change.
