Volunteer at the London Marathon

The London Marathon is one of the world’s most loved sporting events. Every year for over three decades, people from across the UK come together to run the iconic route around London with thousands more supporting them as they raise money for life-changing charities. 

In 2021, the efforts of Macmillan runners raised an astonishing £2.2 million and this year our runners are training their socks off to make the same change for people living with cancer.
