Celebrating our incredible London Marathon runners and looking for more!
What an unforgettable day at the London Marathon this weekend!
We are sending our warmest congratulations to every runner who took on the iconic 26.2‑mile challenge, and a very special celebration goes to Ed and Steve, who proudly represented Home‑Start Oxford on the world‑famous course.
Both runners trained tirelessly and fundraised with huge commitment, all motivated by a shared belief in the difference Home‑Start Oxford makes for local families. Seeing them cross the finish line, running on behalf of parents and children across Oxfordshire, was a moment of real pride for our whole team.
The atmosphere in London was electric, with more than 50,000 runners pouring their hearts into the race. Every year, the marathon inspires thousands of people to take on something extraordinary and if watching this year’s event sparked a thought of “Maybe I could do that…”, we’d love to hear from you!
