London Marathon Application Form

Important Information

Thank you for expressing interest in running the London Marathon on behalf of Mind in Bexley and East Kent! Filling out this application form will allow us to shortlist applicants based on key criteria set by the charity team.

We must emphasise that the minimum fundraising target is £2,200, and we’ve set the following timeline to help you pace your fundraising:

- Raise 25% (£550) by 1st Dec
- Raise 50% (£1,100) 50% by 1st Jan
- Raise 75% (£1,650) 75% by 1st April
- Raise the full amount (£2,200) due 4 weeks after race day

​We set this minimum and set of deadlines to ensure we’re able to cover the costs that we’ve paid for the place as well as putting enough back into our vital services to support people living with a mental health problem.

We know a lot of donations come in on the week of and after the event. So there is plenty of time to plan your fundraising and collect donations. Don't be complacent though - promote your achievement on social media and keep asking for donations!

We will be in touch throughout your journey to give fundraising tips and ideas.

Before applying, please be confident that you can meet or exceed the £2,200 minimum fundraising target.

Applicant agreement

I understand that I could lose my marathon spot if I do not achieve the minimum fundraising targets according to the deadlines set in this form.
I understand that I must pick up my race pack from the Running Show at the Excel, London in April 2027 and that not doing so means I cannot take part in the marathon.
I agree to wear the branded running vest provided by Mind in Bexley and East Kent when taking part in the marathon.
I am happy to have photos and video taken of me preparing for the marathon and at the event.
