Running for #TeamArthur at the TCS London Marathon

The Arthur Rank Hospice Charity has 4 places at the TCS London Marathon, and we always have more runners than places! For this reason we run an application system each year.

The 2027 event takes place on Sunday 25 April 2027 and applications for this have now closed. Applications for the 2028 event will open in April 2027.

FAQ

How can I register to run the TCS London Marathon for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity?

Applications for 2027 are now closed. If you would like to run on a Charity Place in 2028, please check back here in April 2027 for details. We only have 4 places, and demand always exceeds this.

If you are successful in the public ballot for 2027 and would like to raise funds, we’d love to welcome you to the team. 

We are so grateful that you are considering supporting people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition. 

Applications are currently being reviewed and we will be in touch with shortlisted applicants in June. By the end of June we will let everyone know the outcome.

If you have a ballot place, there is no minimum to raise.

If you have secured a charity place with us, there is a non-refundable Registration Fee of £60.

We ask for a commitment to raise £2000 for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity to support people in Cambridgeshire living with an advanced serious illness or other life-limiting condition.

You will be sent an online application form to complete. Applications will only be considered this way. Please provide as much detail as you can on the form, as there are always more applicants than places. 

After applications have closed, all will be reviewed and a shortlist of runners drawn up. Shortlisted applicants will then be invited to attend an informal online chat to discuss their fundraising plans and reasons for applying.

The 4 places will then be allocated and everyone will be contacted by the end of June with the outcome of their application.

You will receive a free #TeamArthur runners t shirt or vest to train and run in on the day – this is really good for others to ‘spot’ you so they can cheer you on and show their support. 

Our Challenges Fundraising Team can support you to fundraise also. 

Sponsoring anyone who is running will help them to meet their fundraising target. Please let us know if you would like to donate to our Charity or support a runner. 

All runners with a charity place will have their packs sent directly to the address they registered with.

We recommend Enthuse and we will send you full details on how to set this up. You will feel a sense of community as you can see the overall total raised by all #TeamArthur Runners.  Other fundraising platforms are available. 

On the day more that 53,000 runners will be participating. Arthur Rank Hospice Charity has secured 4 Charity Places. We also welcome any runners who have secured their own place in the ballot and choose to fundraise for the Charity.

Absolutely, we’d love you to! If you are lucky enough to secure your own place in the TCS London Marathon and would like to fundraise for Arthur Rank Hospice Charity we would love to hear from you! We can link you with the other runners from the hospice, give you a shirt and lots of fundraising support along the way. Please get in touch via email challenges@arhc.org.uk.
