A once in a lifetime run around one of the world's great capital cities. Why not make it even more special by doing it for UNICEF?
Thank you to all our Team UNICEF runners who ran the world famous route through London in some amazing times despite the heat on the day. Congratulations to you all, we hope you enjoyed running it as much as we enjoyed cheering you on with your friends and families!

Join Team UNICEF in 2012
Applications for UNICEF's Golden Bond marathon places have now closed. However, if you managed to secure a public ballot place in the 2012 event we'd love to hear from you. Please email us at marathon@unicef.org.uk to receive a running pack and fundraising support, as well as a personalised UNICEF running vest.
The benefits of running with UNICEF
- A personalised UNICEF running vest and UNICEF t-shirts for your supporters
- The loudest cheering team along the route
- A UNICEF goody bag, much-needed refreshment and a big thank you at the finish line
- Support and advice from a dedicated fundraising team
- UNICEF's own online fundraising facility My Fundraising
- Information about UNICEF’s work and how donations will help us stand up for the rights of all children around the world.
Why your support matters
Every child has the right to a childhood free from exploitation, violence and abuse. Yet millions of children around the world are having their basic rights denied. This is wrong.
Your fundraising efforts will support our work promoting the rights of vulnerable children around the world, ensuring that we continue to help protect their right to an education, to be healthy, to be heard, to be treated fairly and to a childhood free from adult responsibilities.
By being a part of Team UNICEF, you will be helping us ensure more children get the best possible start in life.
Do you want to join our cheering squad and be part of the fun?
We would love you to join us cheering on Team UNICEF at the Virgin London Marathon. We can offer you and your friends and family who come along a UNICEF t-shirt, some clappers to bang together and some light refreshments to keep you going. Please contact us for more information about how you can get involved, or visit the Virgin London Marathon website.
