Marathons/Runs
Whizz-Kidz has a long standing pedigree in recruiting teams to run some of the most famous road races in the world. The Flora London Marathon is without doubt the UK’s most popular marathon and the one that Whizz-Kidz is most synonymous with since it was our founding event and the inspiration behind the charity being set up.
After the success of the 2008 Flora London Marathon, we are already signing up runners to our 2009 team. The event is taking place on Sunday 26th April 2009 and we are looking for outstanding individuals who have the potential to beat our fundraising target of £1500. If you would like to join the Whizz-Kidz team, please print off and send us your completed application form to the Events Team, Whizz-Kidz, Elliot House, 10-12 Allington St, SW1E 5EH. We will call you when we get your form to talk through your application.
Hot on the heels of London are the New York, Berlin, Chicago, Dublin and Paris Marathons which are all proving to be increasingly popular with our supporters.
The deadline for November’s New York Marathon entries is 1st June! If you are interested, please call Sharon Daniels on 020 7798 6132 or email us for further details.
Our marathon support is legendary, so you’re guaranteed an experience you’ll never forget. We’re on hand to assist you every step of the way and will provide you with essential training advice and an invaluable fundraising guide.
