The London Marathon is an iconic race, that takes runners from Greenwich to The Mall, passing some of the city’s most famous landmarks. As one of the World Marathon Majors, ballot and charity places are always in demand.
Ballot
We recommend that you enter the public ballot. The ballot opens on Friday 24 April 2026 and closes on Friday 1 May 2025. The ballot results will be announced by early July. Register for the ballot.
If you are lucky enough to secure a ballot place we would love for you to join #TeamCHSF and raise funds for heart families. Let us know you have a place by signing up to fundraise here.
Charity place
CHSF has some charity places in the 2027 TCS London Marathon. As places are limited, we are asking runners to register their interest for one of our places. Please complete the form below.
We will review the applications for our places in July to coincide with the ballot and let you know whether you have been successful.
