London Marathon 2024

Registration fee: £50 Minimum sponsorship: £2,200
21st April 2024 London

All places for the 2024 London Marathon have now been filled and successful applicants have been notified via email. If you would still like to apply, you’ll be placed on a waiting list in case a space becomes available. For any enquiries please email sport@roycastle.org.

The London Marathon needs no introduction. As the most iconic marathon in the world, it attracts runners of all abilities who love the course around London’s most famous streets, as well as the incredible atmosphere.

The London Marathon is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Each charity runner is expected to raise £2,200 for the charity and run 26.2 miles, which is no easy task! This is months of fundraising, organising events, bag packs, raffles and bake sales. Months of running in the dark, rain, snow and mud.

The support from the crowds was amazing, and even got to see the Roy Castle cheerers twice as they were on Mile 22, so they were screaming my name as I passed on the other side of the road around Mile 13 and 22!! It certainly kept me going!

Why run the London Marathon for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation?

  • We are the leading lung cancer charity in the UK dedicated to helping everyone affected by lung cancer.
  • Lung cancer is a disease that, despite what many may think, can affect anyone.
  • It is the UK’s biggest cancer killer, with over 36,000 dying from lung cancer every year. It kills more people than breast, prostate and pancreatic cancer combined, and more women than breast and ovarian cancer combined.
  • It is our mission to ensure everyone diagnosed with lung cancer can live well with the disease for as long as possible.
