The London Marathon, one of the biggest races in the world has a lot to be proud of; it gives all its participants a sense of pride and accomplishment as they combat a mentally challenging and physically gruelling task of completing a 26.2 mile run. It has also established British heroes such as Paula Radcliffe; but 2013 will not only see Paula aim to beat her personal best, double-Olympic champion, Mo Farah will also be joining in the challenge. The long-distance runner aims to make his full London Marathon debut in 2014, and will only compete in half of the marathon this year.
It isn’t just about rising stars and catching a glimpse of the immensely talented Mo Farah and Paula Radcliffe. It’s also about the participants completing their goals and ambitions, whilst raising money for charities of their choosing – this is what makes the London Marathon such a phenomenal event.
Since the race began in 1981, runners have raised a staggering £500 million for good causes, and this year fundraisers hope that we will see yet another record-breaking event. 100,000 people were expected to register to this year’s marathon despite there only being 30,000 places, which have been assigned through a ballot. With each applicant charged a £35 admin fee, the event would have already raised £1,050,000, although this money may go towards the running of the event; water supplies, closing of London roads and possibly the employment of staff and security.
