Running for WCRF UK
If you are successful in gaining a WCRF UK guaranteed place, we ask that you raise a minimum of £2,000 in sponsorship money so you need to be confident that you can raise this amount before applying.
The official public ballot system for the 2012 Virgin London Marathon has now closed. If you entered you you would have found out in October whether or not you were successful in the ballot system, by receiving an Accepted or Rejected magazine in the post.
If you gain a place in the ballot system you can still run for and support WCRF UK. You will have all the benefits of being a Team WCRF UK member (see the list on the right) but you won't have a set amount of sponsorship money to raise, and anything you do raise will support WCRF UK's cancer research and cancer prevention education programmes.
