Calling all athletes!

The Virtual TCS London Marathon has been running alongside the famous in-person London Marathon since 2020, at the onset of the pandemic. It gives participants the opportunity to take on the 26.2-mile challenge from anywhere in the world, on the route of your choice, at any time from 00:00 to 23:59:59 BST on the same day as the mass event in London.

This year, the BPA has three places to give away in the Virtual TCS London Marathon on Sunday 23 April 2023. You can walk, run, or hike the 26.2 miles, with friends or on your own, from home or away, in stages or all at once – it’s your marathon, your way.

Whether you missed out on a place in the mass event, or you’ve just been looking for an opportunity to dust off your hiking boots, set yourself a challenge this Spring and join #TeamBPA to raise funds and awareness for the porphyrias and rare disease.

To secure your place, please contact sue.burrell@porphyria.org.uk by 28 March 2023.
