What we do
At LME we believe activity is for everyone. We connect people and communities through experiences that change lives.
Our Community Engagement and Accessibility & Inclusion teams work with individuals and groups across the UK to inspire activity. We partner with underserved and under-represented communities, offering guidance and support to prepare them for their journey to the Start Line. From shakeout runs, to tailored training and coaching support, to community cheer zones, we ensure that our diverse communities feel welcome, seen and supported at our events. This includes working closely with participants with disabilities and long-term health conditions to ensure they have everything they need on Event Day, from support runners to welfare hubs along the route.

Embrace the Possibilities: Anthony Bryan says you define what you can achieve.
Doctors said it was unlikely Anthony Bryan would walk again following surgery to remove a brain tumour when he was a young child. At the 2024 TCS London Marathon, he set the Guinness World Record for the fastest marathon (CIH) (male). At his side was his support runner, Tyler Slade.
