How to register for a BHF Charity Place in 2011

Our application system for our guaranteed charity place for the Virgin London Marathon 2011 has now opened. Apply for a BHF Charity place now!

Our application process involves completing an online form with some questions including why you would like to join the team and what fundraising pledge you can commit to. As we only have a limited number of guaranteed entry places (Charity Places), all applications will be subject to a selection process. We'll contact you in August by post to let you know if you have been successful. All successful applicants will be required to pay a £50 registration fee and commit to the pledge stated in their application form.

Have you already applied in the organisers' ballot?

There are 2 ways to gain a place in the Virgin London Marathon 2011. You can gain a place with a charity (a guaranteed Charity Place or 'golden bond') and you can also apply for a place in the organisers' ballot.

The Virgin London Marathon ballot opened on Tuesday 4 May 2010 and closed when it reached 125,000 entrieds. The Virgin London Marathon official ballot results will be announced in the first week of October 2010. Visit the organisers website for more information.

You can also apply for one of our Charity Places now to double your chances of getting a place. If you are very lucky and receive a Charity Place from BHF in addition to your Own Place (ballot place) from the organisers we will be able to refund your registration fee. And the great news is that you can still be a Heart Runner if you gain your Own Place!
