Why Take Part?

Every day, Your Local Air Ambulance is called to people experiencing life-threatening injuries and medical emergencies.

From serious road traffic collisions to cardiac arrests and major trauma incidents, our crews bring advanced critical care directly to patients when every second counts.

By taking on the iconic London Marathon and fundraising, you'll help keep our helicopters and critical care cars ready to respond across your local communities.

Every mile you run could help us to be there for another patient facing their most difficult day.


Run for Your Local Community


With time to train and support along the way, The London Marathon is a great goal for anyone looking to challenge themselves and do something positive.

You don't need to be the fastest runner - you just need the determination to take on the challenge and cross the finish line knowing your effort, training and fundraising have helped support Your Local Air Ambulance.

Meeting the suggested fundraising target could help us to:

- Fund an entire Your Local Air Ambulance mission, which costs on average, £2,500
WHEN YOU SIGN UP YOU WILL RECEIVE:
- A guaranteed place in the world's most famous marathon event
- Your Local Air Ambulance Ambulance running shirt
- Expert fundraising advice to make your efforts as easy and straightforward as possible
- A fantastic post race reception (with a very special goodie bag)

- And, the knowledge that your hard work will be helping to change, and save lives! 

HELP US SAVE LIVES

Over the past 20 years, Your Local Air Ambulance has saved thousands of lives.

Our critical care teams can be on the ground within minutes, delivering lifesaving care to give patients the very best chance of survival and recovery.
