We know that training and running the London Marathon is a big challenge to undertake and our dedicated Events team will be with you every step of the journey, offering you our renowned first class support.
There is no other charity that I could imagine running for

Hundreds of runners choose Team Whizz Kidz every year. Here's why you should too:
1: Legendary support
From the moment you sign-up until the moment you cross the finish line, you'll benefit from Whizz Kidz's legendary support. Our events team will be on hand throughout your preparation, whilst on the day you'll be cheered on by the loudest, proudest cheer-squad!
2: Access to the Whizz Kidz team coach
Everyone running for us gets access to our team coach. Our coach gives helpful advice on all things marathon running such as training plans and diet. It's no secret on the charity scene that Whizz Kidz runners are the best prepared runners at the marathon!
3: Get a free running vest
OK, we know everyone running for a charity gets a free vest, but ours are the coolest, most styish and are higly sought after. In 2024 we'll also have a brand new look, meaning not only will you run fast, you'll look fabulous whilst doing so.
4: We're big enough to make a difference but small enough to care
We know there are hundreds of amazing charities you could choose to run for. However, Whizz Kidz are big enough to make a real difference to the lives of young wheelchair users but also small enough to care about you, our amazing fundraisers.
5: Empower a young wheelchair user
The money you raise will help us reach our even more young wheelchair users. If you raised around £2,000, that could be enough for us to buy a life-changing powered wheelchair for a young person. That’s something really tangible to motivate you through each of the 26.2 miles.
Apply for one of our charity places today.
Together we can change the lives of young wheelchair users across the UK!
