2026 TCS London Marathon

If you would like to join our team for the 2026 TCS London Marathon, simply apply today through our online application form making sure you select the 'charity place' option.

If your application is successful for 2026, we will then ask you to pay a non-refundable £100 registration fee and commit to raising a minimum of £2,200 (excluding Gift Aid.) 

Tips for Applying

To ensure your application is as strong as possible, please include as much information as you can about why you would like to join #TeamHospiceUK and your plans for both training and fundraising before race day. 

If you are one of lucky ones to secure your own place through the official London Marathon Ballot, or if you have a Good For Age place, we would love for you to join our team as an own place runner and raise money for hospice care.

Simply complete our online application form, making sure to select the ‘own place’ option. You'll receive all the same support as a charity place runner, however you will have no minimum fundraising target. We just ask you to raise what you can. 

• Free sports massage, massive support from cheer points, and much more VIP treatment on the day - including four cheer points, a team photographer and videographer, and a hot meal at the Hospice UK post-race celebration.
• Support from registration to race day - regular team e-newsletters, a fundraising pack full of ideas, fundraising materials to help with your activities and ongoing support from our Hospice UK Events Team. 
• Everything you need to get race ready - including an online community with your 150+ teammates, competition in our Strava Club, a personalised Hospice UK running vest, and a stand at the London Marathon Running Show.
