Black History Month

London Marathon Events celebrates Black History Month 2022

Traditionally, Black History Month has celebrated key figures and events in Black history, but this year the organisers wanted to go beyond that to recognise the achievements and contributions that Black people make to the UK every single day. To support this, we asked people of all ages, from all walks of life, to share their stories.

We asked three running crew founders about their sporting heroes and how they’ve been inspired to set up their own community projects.
