Latest News About London Marathon Foundation

Here’s the latest I can confirm about the London Marathon Foundation.

• The London Marathon Foundation is the rebranded successor of the London Marathon Charitable Trust. The name change occurred in 2023 as part of a broader effort to modernize the charity and broaden its funding reach.[1][4][5]
• Since its rebrand, the Foundation has highlighted continued grantmaking across the UK, with cumulative grants reaching tens of millions to support physical activity and active lifestyles (e.g., reporting over £98 million awarded historically, and ongoing funding rounds such as Active Spaces).[6][1]
• The Foundation remains closely tied to London Marathon Events (LME) and its impact programs, including initiatives along the London Marathon route and allied rides and events, with ongoing announcements of awards and partnerships to promote participation and diversity in sport.[3][6]
• In recent years, the Foundation has expanded its regional impact, including notable contributions to Essex through RideLondon-Essex legacy programs and multi-year funding in community sport initiatives.[3]
