London Marathon 2011 - 17th April

CRY CHairman Greg Whyte leads London Marathon heart costume runners

 

Congratulations and thank you to all our CRY runners in the 2010 London Marathon, which this year included Patrons Simon Halliday and Bill Neely (click here for a full list of CRY runners).  Your fantastic efforts are truly appreciated and we hope the aches and pains are now a distant memory!

 

Thank you too, to all CRY volunteers who helped out on the day.  Without your support the CRY 'London Marathon experience' would not be what it is.

Virgin London Marathon 2011

The 2011 Virgin London Marathon UK and Overseas ballot systems closed in record time this year. The UK ballot system closed in a record 1 day - 2 days quicker than last year - when it reached 125,000 applicants. The Overseas ballot system also closed in record time having reached 5,500 applicants.

Applicants will be notified whether they have been successful or not in securing a place in the 2011 Virgin London Marathon in early October.  If you’re still interested in running the 2011 Virgin London Marathon for CRY, you can apply for a CRY Golden Bond place via CRunCH at www.crunch.org.uk/CRY. The site opens fully for 2011 in early June. When you apply, you will receive an acknowledgement setting out the 2011 timetable. CRunCH will start to offer places from mid-June onwards

Please note - if you are already on the CRunCH system as a result of dropping out of the 2010 event and intend to rollover your place to 2011, please DO NOT RE-APPLY. CRunCH  will contact you directly.

If you have used the CRunCH system in the past but are making a new application for 2011 - i.e. not a rollover from 2010 - then please remember to choose a new password. Choosing the same password will invalidate your entry.
 

 

Volunteers needed on race day!

The London Marathon is a massive event for CRY, and we are always on the lookout for volunteers to help us on the day.  The kinds of duties that we are seeking assistance with, include: post-race massage for runners; meeting CRY runners at the finish line; driving / escorting runners from the finish to the hotel (for shower, massage, etc); interviewing runners; organising a 'cloakroom ticket' system for runners wishing to use the shower / get a massage; distributing refreshments to CRY runners; setting up and dismantling CRY display boards at the post-race venue; photography.

If you would like to help out in any way, please e-mail laura@c-r-y.org.uk

 


Heart costume runners for CRY in the London MarathonEvery year, we have a team of CRY heart costume runners.  We were delighted that the CRY heart costume runners in the London Marathon 2004 and 2005 were led by Professor Greg Whyte, former Olympic Pentathlete and CRY consultant for exercise and sports medicine.  Greg also ran in a heart costume in 2003 and his image was used to decorate various magazine features including a Third Sector article about VAT and fundraising events, and EasyJet's inflight magazine for April 2004 (above).

Greg, along with many of our runners, benefited from a personal fundraising web page.
