Missed out in the London Marathon ballot? Don’t let that stop you from taking on one of the world’s most iconic races.
We’re looking for passionate runners to join Team Calvert Kielder for the 2027 TCS London Marathon and help make a real difference to the lives of disabled children and adults.
Every year, thousands of people line the streets of London to cheer on runners completing 26.2 unforgettable miles. It’s a day filled with determination, celebration and incredible achievement. By running for Calvert Kielder, you’ll not only cross the finish line with a medal around your neck, but you’ll also know that every step has helped someone else experience adventures they may never have thought possible.
Why run for Calvert Kielder?
At Calvert Kielder, we believe disability should never be a barrier to adventure. Every year, we welcome thousands of disabled children, adults and families to enjoy fully accessible outdoor activities, specialist respite care and life-changing experiences in the heart of Kielder Forest.
The money you raise will help provide:
- Accessible adventure breaks
- Specialist respite care
- Confidence-building outdoor activities
- Opportunities for disabled people to challenge themselves and create lasting memories
A lower fundraising target
We know fundraising can seem daunting, which is why we’ve kept our minimum sponsorship target at just £1,600 – significantly lower than many other London Marathon charity places.
We’ll also support you every step of the way with:
- A Calvert Kielder running vest
- Fundraising tips and ideas
- Dedicated support from our fundraising team
- Plenty of encouragement throughout your training journey
