With over 55,000 runners, unbeatable crowd support and a route that passes by some of the world’s most iconic landmarks, it’s no surprise that the London Marathon tops many a bucket list.
A record-breaking 1.133 million people entered the public ballot for next year’s race and for the first time ever, Cornwall Mind has secured some charity places – so if 2026 is your marathon year, we want to hear from you!
By taking on the TCS London Marathon with us, you’re not just running 26.2 miles – you’re making a direct impact on the mental health of people in your community. We support people across the whole of Cornwall providing vital mental health services that change lives.
Every penny you raise stays local, helping to fund our wellbeing programmes which are a lifeline to so many people facing mental health challenges.
If you’re offered a Cornwall Mind space and you accept, there’s a £100 registration fee, which is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Running the London Marathon is an incredible, positive and life-affirming experience. It doesn’t matter how fast or slow you may be, it’s about being there among the cheering crowds, and achieving your own goals. I chose to run for Cornwall Mind in 2025 because I was lucky enough to have a Good For Age place and wanted to do something good with it. I’ve experienced mental health difficulties myself and know how important it is to be able to access support when you need it. With Cornwall Mind being local, they were a great choice to run for. Training for the London Marathon requires dedication and consistent training over months, but on the day and when you cross the finish line, you won’t regret a moment!
If you’ve been successful in the public ballot and would like to fundraise for Cornwall Mind, please get in touch. There is no minimum sponsorship – all we ask is for you to raise as much as you can! You’ll receive the same perks and support from our dedicated fundraising and events team. If you’ve been lucky enough to have secured your place contact us.
Regardless of the place you hold, we’ll be there to support you all the way. As a runner with #TeamCornwallMind, you will receive:
