Marathon March 2019: What You Need To Know

More than 150 Eagles fans will be walking 26.2 miles from Selhurst Park to Trafalgar Square on Saturday 12th October to raise money for the Palace for Life Foundation. Here you can find out everything you need to know about the third annual Marathon March, powered by Utilita.

Why is the March happening?

The Foundation supports more than 14,000 young people across south London every year. They use the power of Palace to focus on young people who face severe challenges in their lives, including mental health, social exclusion, obesity, disability and finding employment.

Proceeds raised from the Marathon March will go towards the Foundation’s flagship mental health intervention programme, Team Mates, which helps primary school children to build their self-confidence and emotional resilience in order to reduce their chances of developing mental health problems later in life.
