Take part in the Virtual Virgin London Marathon 2021
For every mile you run (or walk!) and every penny you raise, you’ll support some of the most vulnerable and marginalised young people in Zambia through sport, health and education opportunities.
On Sunday 3 October 2021, 50,000 virtual runners will have the chance to join 50,000 in London as an official part of the biggest marathon ever staged anywhere in the world. You can complete the race in one go, or in stages, over the 24 hour period.
Choose to run or walk the marathon yourself, or as part of a team – involve your partner, friend or children and share the fun of finishing the Virtual London Marathon together!
