TCS London Marathon
The TCS London Marathon is a major international running event held in the capital of the United Kingdom. It is recognized as one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, making it a key destination for athletes aiming to complete the six-star journey. Beyond the elite competition, it is celebrated as the world’s biggest annual one-day fundraising event, where thousands of participants raise money for various causes.
The event offers several ways for participants to gain entry. While the main ballot for the 2027 edition is a popular choice, other entry categories include:
- Charity places
- Good For Age entry
- Championship entry
- British Athletics Club entry
- International entry
- Elite Wheelchair entry
The course is designed to showcase the city of London, featuring landmarks such as Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and The Mall. For those who cannot attend the physical event in London, there is a virtual option called TCS London Marathon MyWay.
As part of the preparation, participants have access to a dedicated Running Show, training plans, and a pace team to assist during the race. The organizers are also exploring a two-day format for 2027 to increase participation opportunities. The event maintains a strong focus on accessibility, providing specific support for participants with disabilities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
