Reflecting on The Legends Marathon 2024 success and looking ahead to 2025 edition
The Legends Marathon (TLM) 2024 marked the beginning of a remarkable journey of transformation, perseverance, and community. It was the birth of something greater than the sum of its parts.
Centred on the vision of empowering and supporting athletes through their transitions, nurturing talent, and fostering community growth, the marathon brought together retired and active athletes from all sports disciplines.
It united Olympians, elite runners, recreational participants, and everyday enthusiasts in an event that celebrated resilience and determination.
With hundreds of participants and spectators, it not only achieved its inaugural goals but also highlighted the potential of sports as a unifying force in society.
The comprehensive2024 Legends Marathon Report captures every milestone, from the vibrant race-day atmosphere to the tangible impacts on athletes and the community.
Key Highlights
Key highlights include stories of personal experiences shared by active and retired athletes after the marathon, the partnerships that propelled the event’s success, as well as the formation of the Athlete Alumni Network. The report also offers a roadmap for an even greater experience in 2025.
Next Steps: Building on Momentum
However, TLM is not just about the race. It serves as a catalyst for initiatives like Athlete Career+, a programme designed to equip athletes with skills, resources, and opportunities to transition successfully into life beyond active sport.
In the coming months, workshops, networking events, and personalised career planning sessions will be rolled out under the Athlete Career+ programme, the newest addition to our initiatives. These initiatives aim to empower athletes to redefine their futures while staying true to the marathon’s mission: transforming lives through sport.
