Join the ‘For Men To Talk’ in walking in the TCS London Marathon MyWay for the Fourth Year

In 2025, ‘For Men To Talk’ is excited to take part in the TCS London Marathon MyWay for the fourth consecutive year. This unique event allows participants to complete the 26.2-mile marathon distance in their own way—whether running, walking, or mixing the two—at any location. You can take part on Marathon Day, Sunday 27 April 2025, between 00:00 and 23:59:59 BST.

By completing the challenge, participants earn the official TCS London Marathon finisher medal and a New Balance T-shirt. UK entry costs £30, and registration is available at https://www.tcslondonmarathon.com/the-event/virtual-marathon. Will you join us?

Get Ready with Weekly Training Walks

To help participants prepare for the big day, ‘For Men To Talk’ will host weekly training walks every Sunday, starting 2 February 2025. These walks will run for 12 weeks, building fitness and confidence for the challenge ahead.

Training for the marathon offers more than just physical health benefits—it can improve mental well-being too. Exercise has been shown to reduce stress, boost mood, and create a sense of achievement. These walks are also a great way to connect with others and build community spirit.

Supporting Mental Health through Fundraising

‘For Men To Talk’ is not just a men’s peer support group. It’s a lifeline for men experiencing anxiety, depression, and grief. By encouraging open discussions in a safe environment, the group reduces stigma and helps men on their mental health journey. It offers various meeting options, including in-person, virtual, fishing, and walking gatherings.

As a Community Interest Company (CIC), ‘For Men To Talk’ relies on grants, donations, and fundraising to continue its important work. These funds support day-to-day tasks like social media, marketing, blog writing, and website updates, as well as expanding the group’s reach to help more men.

Participating in the TCS London Marathon MyWay provides an opportunity to raise funds for ‘For Men To Talk.’ Every pound raised supports the group’s mission and ensures its services remain available to those in need.
