Join Team Thrive at the 2027 TCS London Marathon
Sunday 24th April 2027
make every mile matter
Run the world-famous TCS London Marathon in support of Thrive.
We’re looking for passionate, committed runners to join our team for the TCS London Marathon, on Sunday, 24 April 2027.
Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or taking on your first 26.2 miles, this is your chance to run for a cause that transforms lives in Somerset.
We’re with you every step of the way with advice and support, fundraising ideas and a chance to connect with other runners to share your journey.
When you run with us, you help us support people in Somerset when times are tough. We help people put food on the table, stay warm and well, find housing and connect with their local community.
We ask you to raise a minimum of £2,500 for Thrive. The funds you raise will go towards our work and could help us:
- fund a Village Agent who offers vital support out in the community when people need it most
- host a support group so that unpaid carers can get information, guidance and meet other people who understand the challenges of caring for a friend or family member
- or provide training for people who run the community spaces that help people connect with their local community and avoid isolation.

‘being able to run is a privilege and I’m doing it for people who need vital support.’
Ali is no stranger to a challenge and had competed in local events before becoming one of our very first marathon runners. She trained well and smashed her fundraising target with sponsorship from friends and family and doing a local car boot. As well as fundraising for us, Ali wanted to let as many people as possible know about our work and she did this brilliantly.
