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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u00a31.5 billion. Next year, the Foundation will champion a representative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2027, the 26-mile journey takes competitors on the famous path which passes London\u2019s most notable landmarks – and, as of now, the Foundation is on the look-out for the ideal candidate to participate on our behalf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \u00a32,500 – but motivated to raise as much as possible – for the Foundation before the Marathon, which takes place on Sunday, 25 April 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freya Hudson, Fundraising Officer, said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“We\u2019re 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\u2011changing opportunities for people from Birmingham to the Cotswolds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Because of people’s generosity, cricket becomes more than a sport – it becomes a pathway to confidence, community and brighter futures.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

What makes you unique? How do you stand out from all other applicants? Do you have a story to share which is worth a place among 50,000 others runners in next year’s marathon?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can apply to represent the Foundation by completing the form, which can be found by clicking here.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively, you may have been successful in the marathon ballot – if so, you can still apply to run for the Foundation. Let us know so we can send you a marathon pack and shirt! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note that the Foundation’s representative must be 18+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
