"Missed out on the ballot? We have two London Marathon places available.

Run the TCS London Marathon on Sunday, 25 April 2027, for Penrose Roots, our green community recovery service here in Luton. Over a million people entered the ballot this year, and most did not get a place, so if you still want to run, this is your chance.

We are grateful to , who have awarded Penrose Roots £40,000 over two years towards our running costs.

Core costs are rarely the most eye-catching thing to fund. They are also the thing that keeps the gates open, the staff in post and the sessions running. Every year, over 500 people come through Roots for therapeutic gardening, peer support and community recovery in Luton.

Thank you to the Garfield Weston Foundation and the Weston Family Trustees for backing the everyday work that makes the rest possible.
