Have you always wanted to run a marathon? JRS UK has places for the 2025 London Marathon!
A charity place at this iconic marathon event is the perfect opportunity to tick an item off your bucket list and raise money for a good cause all in one go!
We are now open to applications for the 2025 London Marathon. To express your interest in running with us, please fill out this form below. Our team will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis. If successful, you will hear from us on the next steps of registration.
Please note that results of the official 2025 TCS London Marathon Ballot will be released in July 2024, so we will only be able to confirm a charity place with you after this time.
We’ll be with you every step of the way as you train for the marathon and reaching your £2,000 fundraising target, with the money you raise going straight to accompanying destitute refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.
"The whole experience was amazing and to run for such a great cause made it even better!"
Read what previous runners have to say about the experience:
“Truly the crowd of well-wishers who stood in the cold and the rain were superb. I loved the singers, the bands, the drummers, you all helped it along. Placards made me laugh, my favourite was ‘Where’s everybody going?’ and ‘PAIN is just French for bread’.
The number of charities – over 1,700 – for which people were running to raise money was astonishing and very moving. I saw real dedication and heroism along the way. I reflected on this mass of humanity and thought: what wonderful people we have in our midst.” – Eileen
“I have so many feelings, I am so proud and happy that I am done! … thank you to the JRS team for being a wonderful support system and giving myself and others the opportunity to run for such an amazing cause!” – Natalia
“I’m excited about seeing my friends and family and other supporters from JRS along the course and also the atmosphere of everyone coming together for the race.” – Rhiannon
“Fundraising for JRS was something which meant a great deal to me … Thank you so much for your organisation, support on the day … You are a lovely team and welcoming team with a mission I respect so much. “ – Colm
“The atmosphere was electric. The crowds carried me. If someone is interested in doing it, I’d say it is a commitment and a sacrifice. You sacrifice a Saturday or Sunday for your long runs, but it is worth it! Maybe speak to me in four days, but right now it is worth it!” – Andrea
All the money you raise will go directly towards supporting destitute refugees in the UK.
JRS UK provides food, clothing, and other essentials like mobile phone top-ups, nappies, and sanitary produces. We also provide accommodation, advice, and legal support to help people navigate the asylum system.
We serve refugees of all faiths and none from more than eighty countries, who are banned from working and unable to access government asylum support.
JRS UK relies upon the donations and fundraising efforts of our amazing supporters to continue accompanying refugees in an increasingly difficult environment.
