The event is linked with multiple partners and sponsors and is presented by the organising company London Marathon Events Limited.
Entry and ballot information
Charity places are available. The 2026 ballot was drawn and ballot result emails were sent on 19 June; successful entrants were required to confirm their place and complete payment by 10 July 2025. Applicants who do not get a place in the main ballot are automatically entered into a second ballot to increase their chance of selection.
Entry fees stated in the event information are: UK entry fee £79.99 (reduced to £49.99 for places offered through the ballot) and international entry fee £225. If an applicant is unsuccessful in both ballots they receive a premium winter running top (retail value £60) and their donation supports the London Marathon Foundation. Results pages and past results are published for previous years. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
