Run the London Marathon for Blues Foundation!

Bedford Blues Foundation are delighted to announce they have secured London Marathon places for the four-year cycle 2026-2029 and are on the lookout for keen runners to help raise money for our future charitable initiatives.  

Want to make a difference locally? Interested in experiencing a once in a lifetime event? And most importantly… skip the ballot!  

We’re incredibly privileged to have four places per year in the upcoming 2026-2029 cycle and are already taking applications and expressions of interest for 12 months’ time. Join over 40,000 runners at one of the biggest fundraising events of the year – raising over a billion for charities since inception.  

If you needed any more motivation to apply, an official Blues Foundation runner will receive:  

  • A limited-edition Blues Foundation running top designed especially for the event. 

  • Fundraising support from Blues Foundation including social media promotion. 

  • Access to Enthuse and their fundraising platform. 

In return for a place, runners will be asked to raise £2,750 for Blues Foundation, with support from the team at Goldington Road to help achieve and exceed targets.  

Back in 2022, Bedford Blues Media Manager, Ryan Robinson secured a spot in the TCS London Marathon through the ballot process and chose to fundraise for Blues Foundation.  

Reflecting on the day, he said: “There’s nothing quite like running the London Marathon, no other race comes close to the emotion, hype and feelgood factor of British running’s premier event. It was an incredible privilege to run the race in 2022 raising money for Blues Foundation.  

“Having seen first-hand the impact that fundraising totals can have right here in Bedfordshire, I would urge everyone to consider running on behalf of Blues Foundation if you want to make a genuine difference locally.” 

And don’t forget, like Robinson, you too can run for Blues Foundation this year if you’ve already secured your place! With the same benefits as above, it’s a great way to add a little something extra special to your day.
