Virtual TCS London Marathon

Date and Time info: 23/04/2023
Registration fee: £5
Fundraising target: £145
Face-to-face

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

Consent(Required)

Charity place

In addition to registration with Retina UK, I understand that I am required to confirm my registration with the event organiser (London Marathon Events Limited), including agreeing to the event organiser’s terms and conditions, in line with information provided by Retina UK and that failure to do this may result in my place being lost.

I acknowledge that I have provided data about myself in order to register with Retina UK for this event and that Retina UK will need to pass this information to the event organiser to register my place.

Registration for this event includes the payment of a non-refundable registration fee of £5.

Any charity place allocated to me is non-transferable and any attempt to transfer my place to another person may result in the place being withdrawn.

The event

All runners take part at their own risk.

I understand that I am taking part in an event that is not organised by Retina UK and that Retina UK accepts no liability with respect to my participation.

I will be aged 18 or over on the date of the event.

If I am unable to take part in the event, I will inform Retina UK immediately.

I give permission to Retina UK to use any photographs/videos taken of me to raise awareness and/or money for its work and/or events.

I understand that Retina UK will contact me via telephone, letter or email for any matter relating to my fundraising and my participation in the event.

Fundraising

I understand that event places have an associated cost to Retina UK and commit to raising a minimum of £145 (excluding Gift Aid and any registration fee paid) for Retina UK.

I commit to raising £116 (80% of the minimum fundraising target) by 2 April 2023 (three weeks before the event) and the remaining amount no later than 4 May 2023 (six weeks after the event date).

Medical history and fitness confirmation

A marathon is a strenuous activity and the decision to run one should not be taken lightly. If you have any medical conditions that could be adversely affected by exercise or if you are in any doubt about your health, you must seek advice from your doctor.

I confirm that to the best of my knowledge my general state of health and fitness is good and I take full responsibility for myself.
