Application detailsTo stand the best chance in getting to run for wildlife at the London Marathon 2023, we recommend the following: 1. Apply for your own place in the public ballot And also 2. Apply for our charity place (if successful there will be a £49 registration fee and a commitment to raise a minimum of £1,700) We will announce our charity place winner after the public ballot places are announced. So if you are unsuccessful in the public ballot, you still have a chance to run for wildlife using our charity place if your application is successful. Good luck! How your fundraising helpsBeing part of Team Wilder is so much more than running a marathon, it is your chance to save wildlife for the future, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

The Mass Participation Marathon (Marathon Pour Tous) is free to enter, with 20,024 places up for grabs. Entry is not via your typical ballot, though. Runners can enter themselves into the ballot, due to be drawn at the beginning of 2024, by completing various challenges on three different platforms:
The route of the marathon is identical to that of the Olympic Marathon, and will be highly symbolic. It's inspired by the route of the ‘Women’s March on Versailles’ on October, 5 and 6, 1789 – a crucial event in France’s history – in which between 6,000 and 7,000 Parisian women, and a number of men, marched through Paris, making their way to the Château de Versailles and bringing the King and his family to the Tuileries Palace. That day, Louis XVI finally agreed to ratify the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. The Marathon Pour Tous will depart from the forecourt of the Hôtel de Ville in central Paris, taking runners through the city to Versailles, before returning to the capital and crossing the finish line on the Esplanade des Invalides. Runners will pass the city's most iconic landmarks and monuments, alternating between urban landscapes, parks and woodland. A more accessible 10K race will also take place on the same day and is open to young people aged 16 and over. The date of both races is yet to be announced. You can join Club Paris 2024 or download the Mass Event Running app now. |
