There are two ways in which you can apply for a place to run in the TCS London Marathon 2027

Run with your ballot place The best way to secure a place in the TCS London Marathon 2026 is through the public ballot. This usually opens shortly after the 2026 race.

Apply for a ballot place

Double your impact with match funding Whether you join us with a charity place or a ballot place, check whether your employer offers match funding to maximise your impact for local hospice care.

What’s included when I join Team Rennie Grove Peace?

When you run as part of Team Rennie Grove Peace, you won’t be taking on the challenge alone. We believe training feels easier – and far more enjoyable – when you’re supported, motivated and connected.

Whether you secure one of our charity places or choose to fundraise for us with your ballot place, you’ll receive:

  • Your race bib.
  • Pre-event support including access to our dedicated WhatsApp group and plenty of opportunities to meet your fellow runners.
  • Fundraising tips, resources and personalised advice to help you hit (and hopefully exceed) your target!
  • You’ll be part of a community making an incredible difference for local patients and families, every step of the way.
