About the race
The TCS London Marathon is part of the Abbott World Marathon Majors and is described as the world’s biggest annual one-day fundraising event. For 2027 the event is staged as The Double, taking place across two days, 24 and 25 April 2027, and will welcome 100,000 runners to the streets of London. Entry routes include the public ballot, charity places, Good For Age, championship and club entry, international entry, elite wheelchair entry and routes for participants with disabilities. The ballot for the 2027 Double was drawn and results were sent on 9 July; those offered a ballot place were required to confirm their details by 16:00 BST on 31 July to secure entry.
Entry confirmations are sent by Let's Do This and applicants can check their Let's Do This account for registration status. A limited number of charity places remain available. Applicants who chose the double your chances option faced a reduced successful-entry fee from £79.99 to £49.99 and were entered into a second draw if not successful in the first. Successful ballot places are prepaid and confirmed.
If an entrant is unsuccessful in both ballot draws they are eligible to receive a free hydration vest worth over £100 and their donation supports the London Marathon Foundation. International entry carries a stated fee of £275 which includes a carbon offset fee for travel. Organisers also publish training plans and offer a virtual MyWay option alongside in-person participation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
