Run the London or Manchester Marathon

For British Heart Foundation in 2024

Apply to run an iconic marathon in 2024... for Team BHF

Have you ever wanted to take on the iconic London Marathon, running past some of the most famous landmarks in the city? Or take part in the UK’s flattest, fastest, and friendliest major marathon in Manchester?

Along with British Heart Foundation, our national charity partner we are offering one place in the London Marathon and two in the Manchester Marathon, with all Royal Mail employees eligible to apply.

By entering the ballot, or being one of the three lucky winners, you’ll be helping to protect heart health and save lives in our communities.

 

The details 

London Marathon
  • Sunday 21 April 2024
  • Join 50,000 runners starting in Greenwich Park, taking in the sights of London before crossing the finish line on The Mall.
  • We are offering one BHF place, with all Royal Mail employees eligible to apply for the place.
Manchester Marathon

The team of three who are successful in securing a place will need to raise £3,200 in total. We’ll set up a team fundraising page and the great news is that we will be right behind you with reaching that target - money raised from this ballot will contribute to the total and your fundraising will be matched by Royal Mail (up to £3,200).
