The Howard League celebrates its 150^th birthday in 2016 and, to mark the occasion, we are giving our supporters the chance to take part in the Virgin Money London Marathon and other challenge events.

Virgin Money London Marathon

Sunday 24 April 2016

Do you have what it takes to run 26.2 miles while helping to raise thousands of pounds for the Howard League for Penal Reform?

The London Marathon is the world’s most famous race. More than 38,000 runners are expected to take part in the 2016 event, and we are giving one lucky supporter the chance to join them on the start line.

If you would like to take part, please let us know why the Howard League matters to you. Perhaps someone you know has been helped by our Legal Team. Maybe you were inspired by one of our campaigns. Or perhaps you’d like to run for us to raise awareness of our work towards a society with less crime, safer communities and fewer people in prison. Tell us your story.

To apply for a place in the Virgin Money London Marathon 2016, please email challenge@howardleague.org. Please give your name, address, contact number and details of why you would like to run for the Howard League, and tell us how much money you think you could raise. The deadline for entries is 5pm on Monday 19 October 2015.
