Last chance to register for the 2025 Marathon March!

Joining us this year are a few Palace legends: Mark Bright, Andrew Johnson, and Fliss Gibbons, alongside Marathon March stalwarts Satchi & Matthew.

And that’s not all – this year, participants will be able to celebrate their achievement, and take pictures, with two prestigious trophies: FA Cup & The Community Shield.

Over 200 Palace fans are already marching for change throughout South London, and you can join them to support our work in the community.

It’s a marathon, but instead of running, we walk, talk, and make new friends and connections on the way. This year’s March is flatter, friendlier on the legs, but still packed with the same South London Spirit.

Each year, hundreds of Palace fans and Foundation supporters come together to take on the 26.2 mile route through the capital, united by a love of Palace and a commitment to their community.

The deadline to register is 18:00 BST on Tuesday, 30th September, with the Marathon March taking place on Saturday, 11th October 2025.

Why take part?

There are a few reasons why any Palace fan should sign up.

Firstly, it’s to raise money for young people in South London.

The Foundation's tried and tested programmes help improve young people’s mental and physical health, advance their employment prospects, and support them with mental health challenges through mentoring.

We all love South London, but we know it can be tough growing up here. The Foundation's programmes are proven to work, but they need more funds to reach more people. The money you raise by doing the Marathon March helps us do exactly that.

Secondly, it’s good exercise! You don’t need us to tell you walking is great exercise. It’s a long way, but there are food, tea and coffee breaks and you’ll have the support and company of fellow Palace fans’ – many who have done it before and can give you their top tips!

Which leads us on to our third reason: Palace fans walking together.

Last year, 220 people took part. That’s over 200 Palace fans of all different ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. Whilst everyone’s passion for walking might be different, everyone has something in common: Palace. It’s a great chance to meet other fans, chat about your club and the ways that together, you’ll be making south London a better place for young people.
