Abi's Path To The London Marathon
One big goal. Four races. Thousands of training miles. And hopefully £3,000 for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
Our very own Abi is taking on the 2027 London Marathon, raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK and the whole Orchards team will be behind her every step of the way.
On Saturday 24th April 2027, Abi will take on the full 26.2 miles through London. But getting to the start line is a challenge in itself, so between now and then she’ll be building up the miles through a series of races, training runs and plenty of early mornings!
We’ve set a fundraising target of £3,000, and we’d love our clients, customers, friends and local community to help us get there.
The Route to London
Abi’s journey starts with 5K and gradually builds all the way to marathon distance:
28th September — Hitchin 5K Race
The first milestone and the beginning of Abi’s official route to London.
11th October — Luton 10K Race
Doubling the distance and continuing to build towards the bigger challenges ahead.
21st December — Winter Solstice Half Marathon
13.1 miles and an important test as marathon training begins to get serious.
24th April 2027 — London Marathon
The big one. 26.2 miles for Alzheimer’s Research UK.
We’ll be sharing Abi’s progress, training updates, race results and fundraising total along the way, so keep checking back and follow us on social media to join the journey.
Orchards is getting involved too!
We didn’t just want to wish Abi good luck we wanted the work we do every day to help push the fundraising total higher too.
Between now and the London Marathon, instructions, competitions and Orchards boards erected across the local area will all contribute towards Abi’s sponsorship campaign.
So when you spot another Orchards board going up, you’ll know it represents more than another property coming to market it’s helping Abi get a little closer to that £3,000 target.
