We're behind you every step of the way
In the last 23 years we have helped almost 10,000 runners reach that finish line and in 2024 we want to support you!
Since it's formation in 1990, Whizz-Kidz has raised over £22M to help transform the lives of children and young people with disabilities.
We know that training and running the London Marathon is a big challenge to undertake and our dedicated Events team will be with you every step of the journey, offering you our renowned first class support.
There is no other charity that I could imagine running for

It doesn’t matter if this is your first ever marathon or if you’ve run in one before, Whizz-Kidz will be on hand to support you from the day of your application, during your training right up through to when you cross the finish line. When running the London Marathon with Whizz-Kidz, you can expect:

Hundreds of runners choose Team Whizz-Kidz every year. Here's why you should too:
1: Legendary support
From the moment you sign-up until the moment you cross the finish line, you'll benefit from Whizz-Kidz's legendary support. Kelly, Max and Lydia will be on hand throughout your preparation, whilst on the day you'll be cheered on by the loudest, proudest cheer-squad!
2: Access to the Whizz-Kidz team coach
Everyone running for us gets access to our team coach. Our coach gives helpful advice on all things marathon running such as training plans and diet. It's no secret on the charity scene that Whizz-Kidz runners are the best prepared runners at the marathon!
3: Get a free running vest
OK, we know everyone running for a charity gets a free vest, but ours are the coolest, most styish and are higly sought after. In 2024 we'll also have a brand new look, meaning not only will you run fast, you'll look fabulous whilst doing so.
4: We're big enough to make a difference but small enough to care
We know there are hundreds of amazing charities you could choose to run for. However, Whizz-Kidz are big enough to make a real difference to the lives of young wheelchair users but also small enough to care about you, our amazing fundraisers.
5: Empower a young wheelchair user
The money you raise will help us reach our even more young wheelchair users. If you raised around £2,000, that could be enough for us to buy a life-changing powered wheelchair for a young person. That’s something really tangible to motivate you through each of the 26.2 miles.

Together we can change the lives of disabled children across the UK!

Join Team Whizz-Kidz so more children like Darby can race in the park
Before his Whizz-Kidz trike, Darby would get frustrated at not being able to keep up with his sister. As soon as he was in the trike, he was off! He and his sister now race each other in the park, and he feels like any other child having fun and making friends.
