Berlin Marathon 2025

Fancy taking on a new and exciting challenge? Ja, bitte! Why not head to Germany and run for Team Theo in the ICONIC Berlin Marathon? This is one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors and had over 45,000 runners in 2022 from about 150 nations.

For more information about the event, please head over to the BMW Berlin Marathon website.

One of the ways to secure yourself a place in this race is to purchase one of our charity places. These charity places have a registration fee of £50 and a minimum fundraising target of £1,250. This may sound like a lot, but we are here to help you every step of the way.

Please note, charity places do not include travel and accommodation. 

When you sign up, you will receive a Team Theo fundraising pack in the post along with a charity sports t-shirt that you can wear proudly on race day. You will also be given a dedicated staff contact here at the charity that will be on hand to answer any questions you may have and to help you along with your fundraising journey. 

Ewen Laycock represented the charity in the London Marathon in 2021 and raised over £2,000! Here is what Ewen had to say about his fundraising journey:

"The fundraising target can be a bit daunting to be honest but getting started early can make things much easier. Getting a JustGiving page - or similar - sorted quickly and seeing the first few donations trickling in from friends and family is a big boost.

"The Charity team were a huge help. Not only did they provide all the promotional material I could ask for, they also supported me with my quiz I hosted.

"When I started fundraising it was during one of the lockdowns and restrictions made the usual methods of fundraising difficult, so it was about sharing as much as possible digitally to try and get support. I'm very lucky to have a supportive family who helped get the word out to everyone they knew too! As things opened up, car boot sales helped boost the total. And then I held a quiz at Crookes Social Club which brought in nearly a quarter of the total in one night and nudged us over the target!"

Should you need to cancel your place, please be aware that the registration fee is non-refundable.
