Bedford Blues
Marathon places guaranteed to deliver change locally
Bedford Blues Foundation has announced that it has secured London Marathon places for the four-year cycle 2026-2029 and is now on the lookout for keen runners to help raise money for future charitable initiatives. For anyone who wants to make a diff erence locally, or is perhaps
interested in a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it’s an opportunity to skip the ballot. T e charitable arm of Championship rugby club, Bedford Blues
is incredibly privileged to have four places per year in the 2026-2029 cycle and is already taking applications and expressions of interest for 12 months’ time. T e places off er a chance to join more than 40,000 runners at one of the biggest fundraising events of the year – at an event that has raised over £1bn for charities since inception. An offi cial Blues Foundation runner will receive:
■ A limited-edition Blues Foundation running top designed especially for the event.
■ Fundraising support from Blues Foundation including social media promotion.
■ Access to Enthuse and its fundraising platform.
In return for a place, runners will be asked to raise £2,750 for
Blues Foundation, with support from the team at Goldington Road to help achieve and exceed targets. Back in 2022, Bedford Blues Media Manager, Ryan Robinson
secured a spot in the TCS London Marathon through the ballot process and chose to fundraise for Blues Foundation. Refl ecting on the day, he said: “T ere’s nothing quite like running
the London Marathon, no other race comes close to the emotion, hype and feelgood factor of British running’s premier event. It was an incredible privilege to run the race in 2022 raising money for Blues Foundation. “Having seen fi rst-hand the impact that fundraising totals can
have right here in Bedfordshire, I would urge everyone to consider running on behalf of Blues Foundation if you want to make a genuine diff erence locally.”
