The streets will be lined by hundreds of thousands of spectators as you run towards the Mall for a real hero's welcome in front of Buckingham Palace.

5 reasons to run for our charity

  • Raise funds to help vulnerable children: The difference your fundraising can make is lifechanging for the children we support. Why not read some of their stories here. 
  • Raise awareness of our charity: By posting on social media about your run for FTCT on social media or with friends and colleagues, we are one step closer to helping another child in need. 
  • Support families in times of need: It is tough for many parents in the UK right now and many are living without the basic items their children need. This is where our grants can make a huge difference and with your help, we could fund many more.
  • Improve your health & wellbeing: Whether you are running for fun or to boost your overall fitness levels, the London Marathon is a great opportunity to reach your goal, whatever that may be. 
  • Do something differentFundraising for our charity opens up a world of opportunities to do something different, tackle new challenges, have new experiences and meet new people.

What our past runners said

"The fashion retail market has been incredibly challenging so I chose to run for the FTCT, which supports families who work in my industry. Having run the marathon several times before, I can honestly say that doing it for a good cause definitely has spurred me on and helped me stay motivated during long arduous runs. All in all, the London Marathon is the best experience EVER!” Two time FTCT Marathon runner, Rachel Bowman, Hobbs.
