The unbeatable atmosphere of the London Marathon makes this race one of the best in the world.
Before you apply, here’s what you need to know:
- Every year we receive three applications for every place we hold at this popular event and we really do read every single one!
- Your application is a chance for us to get to know you and understand why you want to run for Cure Parkinson’s.
- As each charity place comes at a significant cost to the charity, it’s crucial that we select individuals who are fully committed to raising the necessary funds to support vital Parkinson’s research.
- We give places based on the answers you give, particularly the reasons you want to run for Cure Parkinson’s and how you’ll reach the fundraising target.
- We do not give places on a first come first served basis.
- Apply today for a chance to take part and we’ll be in touch with the next steps!
