London Marathon
25 April 2010
A big thank you to the 118 people who ran the London Marathon for us in 2009! We are very proud of what you achieved and loved having you in the team.
The London Marathon raised more than £40 million for charity last year and continues to rank at the top of many people’s ‘to do’ lists. Why not tick it off your list in 2010 and run for Team Breast Cancer Care?
Widely recognised as the best marathon in the world, it offers everything you could want from a race - a high quality course, enthusiastic charity runners, an inspiring and interesting route, brilliant organisation and an exhilarating atmosphere. Last year's race was testament to that.
How to enter
Breast Cancer Care has now allocated all their guaranteed entries for the 2010 Virgin London Marathon.
