There’s nowhere quite like Evelina London Children’s Hospital, and there’s no challenge quite like the London Marathon.

This iconic event will start in Greenwich and finish on The Mall near Buckingham Palace, covering a distance of 26.2 miles. It is one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors and the world’s largest one-day fundraising event.

With every mile and every donation, you’ll be making a big difference – helping Evelina London to go further, beyond what the NHS can provide. Funding things like specialist transport incubators, virtual reality headsets to distract anxious young minds, and uplifting spaces where families can spend time together.
