“You don’t have to be first to feel like a winner!”

Flora London Marathon
April 2009

The Flora London Marathon should be a once in a lifetime experience. And as part of The Institute of Cancer Research’s running team, that’s exactly what you get. 
Following our team’s success in 2008, we’re looking forward to another fantastic year at the 2009 London Marathon in April so make sure you’re part of the team and in return we pledge to support you from registration to the finish line and beyond.

Getting your place
To apply for one of our guaranteed places in this event we ask our runners to commit to raising a minimum of £1800 sponsorship.  All successful applicants will be notified just after the public ballot announcements in October.

FLMIf you have already applied to the public ballot you can still apply for one of our guaranteed places to increase your chance of success.  If you are lucky enough to secure a place through the ballot, don’t forget to let us know and you can still run as part of our exciting team but allow us to give our Golden Bond places to other worthy candidates.

Our promise to you
We believe that your commitment to us should be matched with the highest level of support. From the application stage right through to the elation of crossing that finish line.

As part of The Institute team you will receive:

  • FREE Institute running vest
  • A fundraising pack full of all the information you need to help you reach your target
  • Training, nutritional and health advice
  • Unlimited support from our dedicated events team
  • Exclusive access to The Institute’s online running community  
  • A team pre-meet so you can meet your fellow runners before the big day 
  • A post-event party for you, your family and friends to meet and celebrate your finish
  • Fantastic prizes for our top fundraisers

“I never dreamt that running a marathon would be so hard but with the support of The Institute I managed it. The feeling of doing something so amazing and for such a great cause makes it all worthwhile.”                                                     2007 Institute London Marathon Runner

Run to make a difference
Young or old, rich or poor, cancer is our common enemy.  But with your help, this is a fight that can be won. 

By joining The Institute’s Flora London Marathon team you will be supporting the work of one of the top cancer research organisations in the world.  And, with our cost effective promise that over 90p in every pound of a total income goes directly into our research, you can be sure all the funds you raise couldn’t be put to better use.
