We like to think that being in the St Catherine’s London Marathon team is more than about just taking part. It is great fun and raises a considerable amount of money towards providing end of life care and support to local people and their loved ones. In 2011 our London Marathon runners raised over £60,000 towards the services of St Catherine’s Hospice and we are now looking for people to join our 2012 team!

The St Catherine’s 2012 London Marathon team will receive the following:

• Dedicated support from our fundraising team
• A training guide including hints on setting running goals, stretching, running logs and much more
• A fundraising pack full of useful hints and tips
• A St Catherine’s running vest
• Information on how to set up an online fundraising page to help you hit your target
• Information and training sessions with one of the UK's top athletes
• A bus to the marathon start line with support on the way from our fundraising team who will also cheer you on over the route!
• Scheduled training runs with your fellow St Catherine’s runners
• A post-marathon thank you party for you and your supporters

We have now allocated our golden bond places but would love to hear from runners who were lucky enough to secure their own place through the ballot and would like to fundraise for St Catherine’s Hospice. Please contact Jen Wickham on 01293 447364 or jenwickham@stch.org.uk for further details and to receive your fundraising and training pack.

We also have places available for the 2012 Brighton Marathon. Click here for further details.
