Virtual TCS London Marathon
The Virtual TCS London Marathon lets you join #TeamRetinaUK close to home. Taking place on the same day as the mass event in London, you’ll have 24 hours to complete your marathon. Whether you choose to take this on as a solo runner or find a friend to walk with, you can take part at your own pace and on your own route.
By putting on your trainers for Retina UK, you’ll help provide information and support so people can lead better lives today and fund medical research for treatments for the future. And, by reaching your finish line, you’ll also get your hands on an official London Marathon medal and finisher’s t-shirt!
Support for you
- Help and guidance from a dedicated member of our fundraising team all the way up to marathon day
- Personalised running vest or t-shirt (it’s up to you!)
- Cheer signs for your family & friends to support you
- Invitation to our exclusive Strava running club where you can chat to your fellow team members.
Guide runners
Any participant who needs a guide can request a free place for their support runner from the event organisers. Your guide will receive a finisher’s medal and t-shirt (as well as a Retina UK running vest or t-shirt). If you have any questions about this, please do get in touch with our team.
Take on the virtual race with a charity place
Secure your place in the race with a £5 registration fee and pledge to raise £145 for Retina UK.
“I had always loved the idea of completing a marathon but with my sight loss, I knew I wouldn’t enjoy an ‘in-person’ marathon, so the opportunity to participate in a virtual event was absolutely perfect for me.”Caryn – 2021 runner
Run with your own place
