2027 London Marathon: Run for Team MicroLoan and fund a woman’s future!

Ready to take on a challenge with real heart?

The ballot for the 2027 London Marathon (Sunday 25 April) is now open, and we’re looking for our next #TeamMicroLoan.

You’ll be running 26.2 miles across the capital to help women across sub-Saharan Africa start businesses, earn an income, and build brighter futures for their families.

Every mile you run helps unlock opportunity.
Every pound you raise creates lasting change.

Taking on the marathon requires dedication, discipline and determination, but with every training session, you’ll be working towards something far bigger than the finish line.

Ready to take on the challenge? Please email contact@mlf.org.uk to register your interest in running for us.

Every mile you run helps unlock opportunity.

More about what we do

MicroLoan Foundation provides small loans, business training and ongoing mentoring to women living in poverty in Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

These women face enormous barriers to employment and financial independence. By giving them access to capital, training and support, we enable them to start and grow small, sustainable businesses.

With their businesses, women can provide greater access to food, education and healthcare for their children and families.

Since our founding in 2002, our work has impacted the lives of more than 3 million people.
