Run the London Marathon with Starlight
Picture that famous finishing straight. Buckingham Palace behind you. Thousands of fans roaring you on. The final few metres. And then… you’ve done it. We know you’ve got it in you.
We have London Marathon charity places and we’ll do everything in our power to get you to that finishing line. And if you’re lucky enough to have a ballot place, we’d love to have you on #TeamStarlight too. Together we’ll protect play for seriously ill children.
Why join #TeamStarlight?
- Get one to one fundraising support, advice and materials.
- Get to the start line full of confidence with expert training advice and Q&A webinars with Greg Whyte OBE, and up to 10 months access to the Coopah Running App, with 24/7 coaches and personalised training plans.
- Feel and look great in our personalised, hi-tech Starlight running tops.
- Get treated like the hero you are with our post race reception.
- Help reduce trauma, and improve mental health, for seriously ill children in hospitals and hospices across the UK.
Thank you so much to you and your team for making the day extra special for me. You have no idea how much difference it makes when you’re running to have that support and encouragement. The massage and food at the end were also really appreciated and helped me to be able to walk the next day!
Already have a London Marathon Ballot Place?
If you have received a London Marathon place through the ballot, we would love for you to join #TeamStarlight and help us preserve childhood throughout serious illness.
There is no registration fee or minimum fundraising target for runners who have their own ballot place. All we ask is that you set up an online fundraising page and raise as much as you can and we will be there to provide you with support every step of the way.
Get in touch for more details and to receive your Starlight fundraising pack!
