Run the London Marathon for LYP

Are you interested in running the London Marathon? We are delighted to share that we have charity places available at the London Marathon for the next four years – 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029!

Charity places are an excellent way to run the very popular London Marathon and also help raise valuable funds. By running on behalf of Leatherhead Youth Project (LYP), your support will enable us to continue providing innovative services that meet the needs of vulnerable young people in Leatherhead, Bookham and across Mole Valley.

For LYP’s charity places at the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April 2026, we are asking that you fundraise a minimum of £2,000 per person, excluding Gift Aid.

We are now taking applications for LYP’s charity places at the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April 2026! To be considered, please apply before 5pm on Monday 2nd June 2025. We will be in touch on Friday 27th June 2025 to advise whether you have been allocated a place on this occasion.
