Warwickshire Cricket Foundation is looking for a participant to represent us in the 2027 TCS London Marathon which, next year, will take place across two days – and it could be you who takes part.
The world-renowned London Marathon is an event with charity at its centre – hundreds of thousands of runners have taken part since its inception in 1981 and they have collectively raised almost £1.5 billion. Next year, the Foundation will champion a representative.
In 2027, the 26-mile journey takes competitors on the famous path which passes London’s most notable landmarks – and, as of now, the Foundation is on the look-out for the ideal candidate to participate on our behalf.
The successful candidate will be able to share a cricket-themed story which is their inspiration for partaking and they must pledge to raise a minimum of £2,500 – but motivated to raise as much as possible – for the Foundation before the Marathon, which takes place on Sunday, 25 April 2027.
Freya Hudson, Fundraising Officer, said:
“We’re absolutely thrilled to able to support someone taking on this challenge. Fundraising gives us the power to reach even more people and champion our cause with real impact. For a cricket charity like ours, every pound raised helps provide coaching, equipment, safe-playing spaces and life‑changing opportunities for people from Birmingham to the Cotswolds.
“Because of people’s generosity, cricket becomes more than a sport – it becomes a pathway to confidence, community and brighter futures.”
