Ballot places
If you secure a place, we'd be thrilled to have you run in support of Headway UK.
Support us with your ballot place
Since ballot places aren’t tied to a fundraising target like charity places are, there’s no pressure - just the opportunity to join us in making a difference for those affected by brain injury. Ready to take on the challenge? Let’s do this together!
Improve life after brain injury, mile by mile. Set yourself the ultimate challenge and take your place alongside your fellow #HeadwayHeroes on the start line of the iconic TCS London Marathon!
How to get started with fundraising?
Create your own online fundraising page on the Headway - the brain injury association, Just Giving site and ask us for paper sponsorship forms.
Benefits of running with Team Headway
In return for your miles, we'll send you everything that you need to ensure a great marathon experience, before, during and after the event, including:
A personalised Headway running vest
A fundraising pack with useful hints and tips
Ongoing support from our dedicated fundraising team

“It’s so important that people fundraise for Headway UK, and understand more about brain injury. Because for so many others like me, in similar situations, you really do need specialist help and support at the right time – Headway can give you that.”
