Marathon On

2009 London Marathon

Are you a keen runner, or just keen on getting involved, then if you wish to run in the London Marathon on 26th April 2009, Joint Action has again this year been awarded FIVE "Golden Bond" tickets.

So whether it's you or one of your friends and relatives that needs the persuasion to get off the sofa and into some training, getting sponsored to raise vital funds for Orthopaedic research to help keep people mobile, now's the time.

Did you know that in 2002 (the latest figures available), a biennial survey by The London Marathon reported that a record £31 million had been raised that year, a 25% increase on the 2000 figure. Since 1981 it is estimated that over £200 million has been raised for charities world-wide with 76% of competitors running for a cause close to their hearts. One third of the total amount of places offered to runners comes from charities who are awarded guaranteed places or Golden Bonds.

This year, Joint Action has,

  • 11 guaranteed (golden bond) places for sponsored runners
  • 11 guaranteed (golden bond) training places for the sponsored runners
  • Raffle for 2 Grandstand seats at the finish line with a complimentary picnic basket
