How hard is it?
The London Marathon is most definitely a challenge and we recommend anyone thinking about taking part fully considers whether they are capable of doing so. It's something that will need a long term training plan for so that your body is able to stand up to the rigours of running 26.2 miles.
How old do I have to be?
You can be any age from 18-100 to take part, as long as you feel able to complete the course healthily.
What if I can't raise the sponsorship?
We ask you to seriously consider if you will raise the target set. Ben has limited spaces in the Marathon and it is vital that we raise as much as possible to ensure that we are able to support our automotive family and and in the future. We will be with you every step of the way!
'When I ran out of hope...I called Ben'
Jamie, who works for Arnold Clark, needed Ben’s support after struggling with depression following two failed marriages and losing his dad. After speaking to some work colleagues, they encouraged him to talk to Ben.
The automotive industry is a family and we come together to look after our own. When you complete this challenge you'll be making a life changing difference to those in the automotive family, just like Jamie's.
When any member of our automotive family is struggling, we all rally to support them.
