Editing London Marathon (section)

=== Charity ===
The majority of runners at the London Marathon do so using a Charity Place. To obtain this, they commit to raising a minimum amount for a registered charitable cause. In contrast to the other World Marathon Majors and other international events, London Marathon has a bigger focus on  [[charity running]] than other similar events. London Marathon participants have helped to raise over £1 billion since its founding, including £67 million (dated to Apr 24 2024) at the [[2024 London Marathon]] which was the highest amount for a single-day fund-raising event.
