Run for SportsAid here

In 2026, SportsAid celebrates 50 years of backing belief when it matters most. Since 1976, we’ve supported talented emerging athletes at a crucial stage of their journey,  helping them overcome financial barriers and giving them the opportunity to fulfil their potential in sport and in life.

Now, you can be part of that story.

By joining TeamSportsAid at the 2027 TCS London Marathon, you’ll take on an unforgettable challenge while raising vital funds to support the next generation of British sporting talent.

Since its launch in 1981, the London Marathon has raised over £1 billion for charity and continues to inspire runners of all abilities. SportsAid has a proud history with the event, becoming the first official charity partner in 1984, when we were known as the Sports Aid Foundation (SAF).

Over four decades later, we’re still running with purpose, backing belief for the next generation.
