London Marathon runners raise over £77,000 for Kids

Our biggest team to date

This year marked the charity’s biggest team to date, with 54 runners crossing the finish line.

Our fastest runner was Jamie, who completed the course in 3:14:43. He said, “First of all it was a pleasure to raise money and run for Kids at the London Marathon. Seeing the work Kids does gave me added motivation through the hard miles and the cheer stations made a huge difference! The day was amazing from start to finish, the support was like nothing I have experienced and hopefully will again one day.”

“If anyone is thinking of signing up for 2025 go for it! you won’t regret any of it! Crossing that finish line is a massive achievement regardless of time. Congratulations to every runner and thank you Kids for letting me be a part of the class of 2024.”

We would like to thank our runners and everyone who has sponsored them on this journey. The money they’ve fundraised will help us create life-changing opportunities for disabled children and their families.
