London Marathon 2026

We're excited to announce the launch of charity places for the London Marathon 2026! This is the first time we’ve had charity places a great opportunity for us to raise awareness of our work as well as much needed funds.

When it comes to fundraising events, it doesn’t get bigger than the TCS London Marathon. Since 1981, marathon runners have raised over £1 billion for good causes, making it the largest annual fundraising event on the planet.

With over 50,000 runners, the iconic route, unparalleled crowd support and unbeatable spirit make it one of the best-loved Marathon World Majors and a must-do on many bucket lists. For the first time we have places in the race for 2026 and we can’t wait to put together a team!
