Join us in the largest annual charity event in the world
With the London Marathon 2025 just around the corner, we are delighted to announce we are opening the ballots for our 2026 places!
The London Marathon is not just a race, it’s a celebration of endurance, determination, and community. Thousands of runners take to the streets and race through 26.2 miles of iconic landmarks for charity, for their personal best, and for the thrill of crossing that finish line in the heart of one of the world's most vibrant cities. From the electrifying crowds cheering you on to the scenic route that takes you past Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, and the London Eye, this is more than just a marathon. We would love for you to represent Community Hospice in the London Marathon, a global movement that has raised over £1 billion for charities worldwide.

Whether you're lacing up your shoes for your first marathon or your tenth, donning a fun costume or a sleek running vest, we want to hear your story.
By running for Community Hospice, you’re not just racing for yourself—you’re running for a cause that touches lives in your community.
