TCS London Marathon
The TCS London Marathon is a major long-distance running event held in London and is part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. It is recognized as the world’s largest annual one-day fundraising event. The course was originally designed by Olympic medallists Chris Brasher and John Disley to showcase the capital city.
Participants can enter the event through several categories:
- Public Ballot
- Charity Entry
- Good For Age Entry
- Championship Entry
- British Athletics Club Entry
- International Entry
- Elite Wheelchair Entry
The event provides specific support and entry routes for participants with disabilities. For the 2027 edition, organizers are exploring a one-off two-day format held over a Saturday and Sunday.
Standard entry fees for UK participants are £79.99, while international participants pay a fee of £225, which includes a carbon offset contribution. Runners who choose to donate their entry fee during the ballot process may receive a reduced rate if successful, or a hydration vest if they do not secure a place. The event also features a pace team to assist runners and a dedicated Running Show for exhibitors and participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
