London Marathon Write Up

A huge thank you and congratulations from all at CRY to our amazing runners who took part in the 2025 TCS London Marathon!

On Sunday 27th April 2025 #TeamCRY got to complete the iconic 26.2 miles through London. We were delighted to have 90 runners take part on behalf of CRY, raising both vital funds and awareness.

Not only was it one of the hottest London Marathon’s on record, but it was also a Guiness World Record breaker for the largest number of finishers! A total of 56,640 runners completed the route compared to the previous record of 55,646 finishers set by the New York Marathon in November 2024.

CRY volunteers and staff were based out on the route at miles 12 and 23 to spur our CRY runners on as they tackled the less-than-ideal running conditions.

This was the first year that CRY had been based at the Sofitel London St James, and we have received plenty of good feedback from runners, supporters and volunteers about the hotel/facilities on offer, especially its proximity to the finish line. We were so pleased to welcome 42 of our runners, along with their families and friends, back to see us after they had finished. It was a pleasure for CRY staff to meet everyone in person and thank them for their incredible efforts and dedication to the charity.

As the runners gradually arrived at the hotel, they were welcomed back by CRY staff and volunteers with applause and cheers in recognition of the fantastic achievement they accomplished! They were offered a CRY medal, photographed by CRY staff, offered a complimentary drink and food, followed by a massage from a therapist with the aim of easing the inevitable aches they would be experiencing, finally followed with a warm-well deserved shower after their outstanding efforts on the day.

Thank you so much to the runners and supporters who were able to come and meet us. A huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers who were:

Connor Brasted; Diana Bruton; Alex Burke; Daniel Button (in memory of Graham Button); Alison  Button (in memory of Graham Button); Lauren Button (in memory Graham Button); Josh Essex; Wendy Harrington (in memory of Barry Nivett); Nick Hudson; Pat Jones (in memory of Ian Hoggarth); Rikesh Mistry; Rebecca Oliver (in memory of Max Oliver); Liz Oliver (in memory of Max Oliver); Teddy Oliver (in memory of Max Oliver); Valezy Rebello; Stefano Rizzo; Sue Robinson; Pete Robinson; Suzanne Rowan (in memory of Robert Rowan); Dean Sharpe; Jos Sizer; Dylan Smith (in memory of Graham Button); Deborah Steed; David Steed; Tanya Svilar (in memory of Graham Button); Emma Svilar (in memory of Graham Button); Henry Sweetman; Jessica Townley; Rebecca Urry.

There was a wide variety of emotions on the day, especially for those who were sadly taking part in memory of someone they have lost. We hope that the experience was a positive one for those involved.

Finally, we would like to thank the CRY runners for their fantastic efforts and valued support. We really appreciate you taking part on behalf of CRY. Congratulations and thank you to you all!

Kind regards,

The CRY Team
