The inspiring and electric atmosphere amongst some of the world’s most famous landmarks is not something that can ever be replicated. With the roaring crowds lining the 26.2-mile route from Greenwich to the Mall, it really is no surprise that the London Marathon is one of the biggest in the world and a once in a lifetime opportunity.

For 2026, we have marathon places on offer to help us raise vital funds for North London Hospice, which will contribute to our vital care in the community and ensure we can continue supporting those who need us, whenever they need us.

Our Charity places for 2026 are now full, please complete the application form below to be added to the waiting list.
