Taking part in the London Marathon
For those who don’t know, the London Marathon is an annual race that starts off in Blackheath in Greenwich and ends 26.2 miles later at Buckingham Palace. Around 38,000 people take part, raising money for their favourite causes. It takes in many of London’s famous landmarks.
Can you do a marathon without any training? We don’t recommend it. When you run the London Marathon for Diabetes UK, we provide you with a detailed training plan - and access to our training experts to make sure you have all you need to be able to complete the marathon.
Although many people run the marathon, others walk it. The good news is the course is flat. And if you have mobility issues or know you’ll struggle to run the whole length, walking is an option. You'll find lots of help in our beginner run-walk training plan. If you have a disability or require a support runner, please do get in touch directly with the London Marathon team. You can also speak to our helpline to get support. Call 0345 123 2399 or use the live chat.
If you’ve signed up to run the event for us, and are no longer able to take part, do let us know. There’s a good chance you’ll be able to defer your place until next year. Please contact events.fundraising@diabetes.org.uk to go through your options.
