Virgin London Marathon 2013

There are two ways to gain a place in the Virgin London Marathon:

1. Gain a place with a charity (Charity Place)
Complete our online form to apply for a Charity Place with the BHF. Successful applicants will be required to pay a £75 registration fee and pledge to raise a minimum of £2000 (excluding Gift Aid).

2. Apply for a place in the organisers' entry system (Own Place)
You can gain a place in the marathon directly through the Virgin London Marathon event organisers. If you've already secured your Own Place through the event organisers please contact us to join our Heart Runners team.

By being a part of our team as an Own Place runner you will gain the same benefits as a Charity Place runner.

Important: By signing up as an Own Place runner we will not provide a place in the event. You must have already received your place and paid for your registration directly to the Virgin London Marathon organisers'. If you successfully gained a place via the ballot and have paid your entry registration fee direct to the event organisers, you can join our team as an Own Place runner.
