Golden Bond Application Terms and Conditions

TCS London Marathon 2025

General Terms:

  • Plan International UK is limited to 12 Golden Bond places (guaranteed London Marathon 2025 entry) that are subject to availability and acceptance.
  • If my application is successful, Plan International UK will be in touch to collect my deposit of £100.
  • In order to apply for a Golden Bond place I have completed an application form and agreed to these terms and conditions.
  • Should my application be successful I pledge to raise a minimum of £2,000 sponsorship (in addition to my deposit of £100 and exclusive of Gift Aid) through my own sponsorship generating activities. I will pay this amount to Plan International UK by cheque, credit card or via JustGiving no later than 1 June 2025.
  • We expect you to raise at least £500 by 31st January 2025. If you do not reach this target, and do not have an adequate fundraising plan in place, Plan International UK has the right to revoke your place.
  • If I need more time to collect personal sponsorship pledged by others I will let Plan International UK know in writing, in advance of the 1 June 2025, so any necessary arrangements can be made.
  • If I am not able to fundraise the minimum amount of £2,000, I understand that I am to cover the outstanding amount myself.
  • Any fundraising materials that I may produce of my own accord must include the phrase “Plan International UK is a charity registered in England and Wales No 276035”.
  • As a Golden Bond runner I agree that any images taken of me on the day may be used by Plan International UK for future marketing for the event across Plan International UKs website, social media platforms and other marketing channels unless I request otherwise.
  • I am or will at least be 18 years of age on the date of the Marathon (27 April 2025).
  • I acknowledge that I am taking part in this event at my own risk. I therefore do not hold Plan International UK or any of its representatives responsible for any injury or loss that might occur as a result of my participation.

Golden Bond withdrawal including injury:

  • If I sustain a training injury, I will contact Plan International UK immediately to review the situation as I realise the importance of being completely fit to participate in the Marathon.
  • If I choose to withdraw from the TCS London Marathon 2025 through injury or any other reason, I will let Plan International UK know immediately to give the opportunity for another runner to take up the Golden Bond place.
  • If I need to withdraw my accepted entry, I will inform Plan International UK in writing and advise all my sponsors of my withdrawal.
  • If I do not take part in the event, any sponsorship money raised will be treated as donations unless your sponsors contact Plan International UK directly for a refund.
  • I will repay any sponsorship I have collected personally and which has not been passed to Plan International UK, to my sponsors directly within 30 days of my withdrawal.
