The London Marathon will be back on Sunday 25 April, 2027 – and there will be some amazing people taking part, helping our NHS go further to enhance care for patients.
This world-famous marathon takes you past many of the most memorable landmarks in London, including Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and The Shard. With around 50,000 runners and thousands of spectators lining the streets to cheer you on, the atmosphere at the London Marathon promises an unforgettable experience.
Southmead Hospital Charity is entering an exciting new chapter, with the intention to merge and become Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity. This new organisation will continue to support patients, families and staff across our hospitals, building on the strong foundations we have created together while expanding the impact we can make.
In 2027, our official London Marathon places will sit under the name Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity. So when you take part, you’ll be running as part of this new, unified charity. However, if Southmead Hospital holds a special place in your heart, you can still choose to support it. If your application is successful, your fundraising can be directed specifically towards Southmead Hospital, helping to fund the lifesaving equipment, innovative research, and patient support that makes such a difference every day.
For your chance to secure one of our four places, please complete the application below. We encourage you to include as much detail as you can about why you want to run for our hospitals and how you plan to reach the minimum £2,500 fundraising target.
Applications close on Monday 10 August and we will be in touch regarding the outcome of your application by Friday 21 August.
Please note: the Southmead Hospital Charity website will close on 29 June, so any applications submitted after this date will need to be made via the Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity website.
Good luck!
