London Marathon 2025 runner diaries

Every one of our incredible London Marathon 2025 runners is running on behalf of the kidney community. From applying for a place to lining up on the start line, we'll be sharing five of our runners' diaries of their marathon experience.

The 2025 London Marathon is set to be bigger than ever, with over 100 amazing runners now signed up and raising money for Kidney Care UK!

These fantastic runners include people living with CKD and rare conditions, those who have undergone a transplant, kidney donors and people running in memory of loved ones lost to kidney failure. Every one of our runners has an amazing story to tell.

This year we are delighted to share stories from Ashley, Carlie, David and Alice and Alfie. We will be following their journeys from placement to start line, exploring what training for a marathon is really like and finding out why they have chosen to run for Kidney Care UK.

You might even spot them in next year's London Marathon round-up video!

Choosing who will run for us in the London Marathon is always a difficult decision, as every story and journey is a powerful reminder of the strength and determination within the kidney community. We are incredibly fortunate to have an amazing team!
