This year, The King’s Trust—His Majesty King Charles III’s flagship charity—celebrates 50 years of empowering young people to build brighter, more secure futures.

To mark this milestone, we’ve launched the “50-for-50 Marathon Campaign”: more than 50 runners taking on iconic marathons with one inspiring goal—to raise $50,000 to transform young lives.

The Los Angeles Marathon is the very first in this series, kicking off an incredible journey that will continue across other cities throughout the year.

Here in the U.S., we help young people overcome barriers and unlock their full potential. We know talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. That’s why our programs focus on real-world outcomes: helping young people get jobs, start businesses, and build the confidence to thrive.

We don’t just support young people—we invest in them. With your help, we can ensure every mile run brings us closer to a future where all young people have the opportunity to succeed.
