TCS London Marathon
The TCS London Marathon is scheduled for 26 April 2026 and is listed as one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. The event is also described as part of the world’s biggest annual one day fundraising event and includes places for charity runners.
Entry routes and support options include a public ballot, charity places, Good For Age entry, championship entry, British Athletics club entry, international entry, elite wheelchair entry, and provisions for participants with disabilities. The ballot process offers an initial draw and an automatic second draw to increase the chance of being offered a place. If a ballot applicant is offered a place through the ballot the fee may be reduced from £79.99 to £49.99; international entrants have a fee of £225. Applicants unsuccessful in both ballot draws receive a premium winter running top and their donation supports the London Marathon Foundation.
Event-related services include downloadable training plans, a Running Show with exhibitor opportunities, and a Meet Our Experts programme providing advice on training, nutrition, injury prevention, and fundraising. Volunteer roles are described, such as marshalling the route, handing out water, and awarding medals. Results from recent years are published by the organisers and the event is supported by corporate partners including TCS, New Balance, and Abbott.
