Run the 2027 London Marathon for the Circulation Foundation
Take on one of the world’s most iconic marathons while helping to support people affected by vascular disease.
The Circulation Foundation has a limited number of charity places available for the 2027 London Marathon, and we are now inviting applications from people who would like to join our team.
Whether you have a personal connection to vascular disease, work within vascular healthcare, or simply want to take on an unforgettable challenge for an important cause, we would be delighted to hear from you.
How to apply
As the number of applications we receive is usually greater than the number of places available, all prospective runners are asked to complete a short application form.
The form will ask about:
- Your previous running or marathon experience
- Your fundraising plans and experience
- How you would promote your challenge and the work of the Circulation Foundation
- Your reasons for wanting to run for the charity
- Any personal or professional connection you may have to vascular disease
Apply for a 2027 charity place here:
To apply, please email info@circulationfoundarion.org.uk for a form
Application deadline: 31st July 2027
Applications received after the closing date may not be considered.
What happens next?
Once applications have closed, they will be reviewed by the Circulation Foundation team.
We aim to contact all applicants with a decision within two weeks of the closing date, allowing successful runners plenty of time to begin planning their training and fundraising.
As we have only a limited number of charity places, unfortunately we may not be able to offer a place to everyone who applies.
What we ask of our runners
Successful applicants will be expected to:
- Commit to raising a minimum of £2,000
- Promote their fundraising challenge within their personal and professional networks
- Raise awareness of the Circulation Foundation and vascular disease
- Keep in regular contact with the charity as they prepare for race day
In return, the Circulation Foundation team will be there to support and encourage you throughout your marathon journey.
Already have your own place?
You do not need one of our charity places to run for the Circulation Foundation.
If you secure a place through the public ballot or another entry route, we would love to welcome you to the team. There is no minimum fundraising commitment for runners with their own place, and every pound raised will help support our work.
Please contact info@circulationfoundation.org.uk to let us know you will be running for us - we will be happy to send you a complimentary CF branded running T-shirt or vest and our marathon runners fundraising pack.
Celebrating our previous London Marathon runners
Every year, an incredible group of runners takes on the London Marathon in support of the Circulation Foundation.
Through months of training, fundraising and determination, they help raise vital funds and increase awareness of vascular disease. We are enormously grateful to everyone who has represented the charity.
