Extra Information: The role of charities in the London Marathon hasn’t always been as prominent as it is today. In the early years, it was the runners who took it upon themselves to raise sponsorship money for their causes. In 1984, the London Marathon named its first ‘official charity’ and granted the Sports Aid Foundation some entry places to help their fundraising. The London Marathon has added one or two official charities every year since. Over the last 15 years, this scheme has grown and now includes more than 750 British charities with a total of 15,000 guaranteed places.
