Have you been inspired to run the 2012 Virgin London Marathon?
The Virgin London Marathon is the world’s biggest fundraiser and one of life’s toughest challenges. Over 34,000 people take to the streets of London every April, each with their own reason for taking part.
We look after our runners from start to finish. Every step you take for Arthritis Care and every pound you raise will go towards helping 10 million people living with arthritis in the UK, to fight back against their pain and see a positive future.
