The TCS London Marathon is a city marathon in London covering 26.2 Miles. It is one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors and takes place on Sunday 26 April 2026. The event is also described as the world’s biggest annual one-day fundraising event.
Runners collect their Event Pack at the TCS London Marathon Running Show at ExCeL. For 2026 the Running Show runs from Wednesday 22 April to Saturday 25 April. At the Running Show participants can pick up pre‑ordered personalised name printing for a fee of £14.
Marathon Week also features the first edition of the TCSLM & FNL 5K in 2026, presented as a lead-in event that brings runners together in the city. Results from previous editions are published and accessible for recent years, including 2023, 2024 and 2025.
Volunteers support the event in a range of roles such as marshalling the route, handing out water and awarding medals at the finish. The event works with a number of partners and suppliers and publishes participant guides, medical resources and information for charities and international entrants.
