Training
The Whizz-Kidz Marathon team is on hand to help you every step of the way with your fundraising and training. It’s important you start early with both and give as much time and energy to them as possible. The earlier you start the more time you’ll have to get your friends and family to sponsor you and of course, you’ll feel fitter and well prepared for the big day!
Whether you’re a first timer or an experienced runner, we’re on hand with our legendary training support. You’ll be invited to an exclusive training day prior to race day, this will be led by a qualified coach.
Here’s what 21 year old Jenny had to say about our support:
“Thank you for the opportunity to run the London Marathon. I had the most amazing experience and as a first timer I really appreciated the guidance Whizz-Kidz provided especially the training day and training tips on the e-forum. Your help was really second to none".

My Hippo Powered chair enables me to get myself to school, have days out, and I can now see over fences and through windows! I can also recline the chair when I need a rest!
