The West Ham United Foundation team are taking on the London Marathon on Sunday 27th April 2025.

The team will be running 26.2 miles through the heart of London, all whilst raising funds for the West Ham United Foundation, the football club's award-winning charity.

This year’s campaign is more crucial than ever as we enter the final stages of the Beckton Community Hub project. This redevelopment will create a welcoming, inclusive, and inspiring space where people of all ages can connect, grow, and access the support they need. The Hub will be a beacon for the east London community, fostering stronger, brighter futures. Every stride our runners take and every donation received will be a step closer to realising this vision.
