About the race
The TCS London Marathon is an annual marathon organised by London Marathon Events and is part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors. The event combines a mass-participation marathon with a major charity fundraising programme and provides multiple entry routes including ballot entry, charity places, Good for Age entry, championship and club entries, international entry, elite wheelchair entry and entry routes for participants with disabilities. A virtual version called TCS London Marathon MyWay is also available.
For 2027 the event is planned as The Double, taking place across Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 April 2027 and welcoming 100,000 runners to a Marathon Weekend. The organiser publishes participant guides, a spectator guide and medical resources, and runs volunteer programmes to support the event. Training and preparation resources include an annual Meet our Experts session on 15 January 2027, downloadable training plans and an official training app, Coopah.
The on-course experience includes road closures, pace teams and event partners that provide support and services. The distance for the main event is 26.2 miles. Results for recent years are published by the event and there are dedicated sections for elite, wheelchair and charity results. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
