Connect Strava or Fitbit in a couple of clicks from your page; your activities will auto‑post to your supporters.

No – you don’t have to use Enthuse to fundraise for the London Marathon. While Enthuse is the official fundraising platform for London Marathon Events, you are completely free to fundraise on JustGiving if you prefer. JustGiving remains the most popular platform used by London Marathon runners, with thousands choosing it each year because of features like fitness‑app integration, strong social‑sharing tools, fundraising tips, and community support. Many charities also actively encourage runners to use JustGiving because it connects easily to their campaigns and reporting tools.
