Apply to run with #TeamArthur in 2026

TCS London Marathon takes place on Sunday 26 April 2026 and we would be delighted welcome applications for our charity places. 

Please note we only have 4 places, and we expect demand for places to be high once again. 

You can also enter the ballot for a place here. This will give you a chance to secure your own place in the marathon as well. The ballot closes on Friday 2 May 2025.

This marathon remains the largest annual one-day fundraising event on the planet – participants have raised more than £1 billion for good causes since the first race in 1981 – and today charities like Arthur Rank Hospice Charity, need the funds it generates more than ever to support people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition and those who need end of life care .

Our 2026 #TeamArthur runners have already raised over £31,000 to support our local community. They have all been on an incredible personal, physical and emotional journey and we can’t thank them enough!

Is this your time to run the iconic 26.2 mile course?
