We’re thrilled to announce we have 4 places in the London Marathon 2024! These sought after places aren’t easy to secure, so we are over the moon to be able to offer our community places.

The London Marathon is one of the most famous running events in the world. Tens of thousands of runners gather to run the iconic 26.2 mile route each year, cheered on by thousands of spectators.

  • When?: Sunday 21st April 2024.
  • Where?: Race starts in Greenwich, London. Ending at the Mall.
  • Why?: For many this is a once in a life-time opportunity. Our guts have been misunderstood and underfunded for too long. People are suffering and people are dying. Together, we can change that. With you by our side, we will get to grips with guts.
  • Minimum fundraising target: £2,000. The team at Guts UK will support you every step of the way.

The ballot for this closed on Sunday 16th July 2023, 11:59pm.
