Ready to take on London Marathon?

There’s nothing quite like the world-famous 26.2-mile run. Every step of the way, you’ll hear the cheer of the crowd as you run past some of London’s most iconic landmarks.  The atmosphere at the London Marathon 2027 will be simply unforgettable and an experience that will stay with you forever. 

By joining Team Life and raising vital funds, you’ll be helping us to give life-changing support to thousands of women and families facing unexpected pregnancy or pregnancy loss in the UK.

At some of the most difficult and critical times in a woman’s life, we step in with real, practical help.
From a secure and safe home, and essential baby supplies, to emotional and professional support, Life walks alongside women and families when they need it most.
 

You can apply for a charity place now. Please note that places are limited, so we’d encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible.

We’d also love to hear more about you and why you’d like to join Team Life, so please include as much detail as you can in your application.
