Applications for our 2027 London Marathon charity places are now closed. We were thrilled to receive over 50 applications for just four places — thank you so much for the incredible interest and support.

Other Running Opportunities

We offer charity places in a number of exciting 2027 marathon events, including:

  • Brighton Marathon
  • Manchester Marathon
  • Barcelona Marathon
  • Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris
  • Milano Marathon

These options mean you can still fundraise for the Community Hospice while taking on a marathon that suits you; whether closer to home or as part of an overseas adventure.

What Happens Next?

We will be contacting successful applicants a few days after the London Marathon public ballot results are announced in July 2026.

If you’re fortunate enough to secure a place through the public ballot for the London Marathon 2027, we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you to our running team. You’ll receive the same fantastic support as our charity place runners — including training tips and dedicated fundraising guidance — while making a meaningful difference to hospice care in your community.

If you gain a ballot place, please let us know by emailing events@gbch.org.uk.
