The Inclusion Advisory Group (IAG) was set up by London Marathon Events (LME) to advise on and guide the delivery of its participation and community engagement objectives, specifically around the diversity of participants in LME’s portfolio of events and supporting the infrastructure of running communities in London. It’s a consultative guidance body, chaired by LME with members coming from various running crews and running community groups across London.
Members of the IAG advise LME on equality, diversity and inclusion-related issues in running and fitness, particularly those faced by ethnically diverse communities. In turn, members will be supported to grow and sustain their own running communities, be active participants in a running network across London and be given the opportunity to access capacity building support.
The IAG meets six times a year and has 10 members representing communities across London.
