Are you up to the challenge of the 2011 Virgin London Marathon?
When: 17 April 2011
We are looking for Outward Bounders to take on the challenge of the 2011 Virgin London Marathon on 17th April. Running a marathon is an enormous personal achievement. Run it for The Outward Bound Trust and you have the ability to give a young person a moment in their lives that will stay with them forever, giving them self-confidence, the capacity to trust in others and realise that they are capable of achieving more than they thought possible. Without support from individuals such as yourselves, we couldn't make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people.
In order to apply for one of our guaranteed places you will need to download an application form and pledge to raise £1,750 for The Outward Bound Trust. Your form will then go through a selection process after which we will let you know if you have been successful or not.
Got a ballot place? Want to run for The Outward Bound Trust? We want to hear from you!
All our runners for 2011, whether they hold a golden bond place or a ballot place, will benefit from the following:
- Full fundraising support and advice on successful ways to raise your sponsorship
- A full training programme and e-mail coaching advice
- Regular newsletter updates on training and fundraising
- A convenient race day venue, where friends and family can cheer you on in the final mile and a place to relax with a well-earned massage and refreshments afterwards!
- Support along the course, including supporters cheering you on at a pub venue
- Outward Bound branded clothing (including running vest)
