There are two ways to sign up to the TCS London Marathon
CCLG charity place
Apply now for a CCLG charity place in the 2026 TCS London Marathon. For one of our charity places there is a non-refundable registration fee of £100 (payable when we accept your application) and we ask you to pledge to raise a minimum of £2,000 in sponsorship.
The London Marathon is a key event in our fundraising calendar, so we do have to set certain expectations for our runners. You can download the terms and conditions of our guaranteed charity places below.
You will be informed of the outcome of your application by email by June 2024 (or within a month of submitting your application, if you apply after June).
We receive far more applications than we have available race places, so unfortunately not everyone who applies will be given a place.
Please note, if you are offered a CCLG guaranteed place in the London Marathon, we are unable to restrict the funds to a Special Named Fund. If you would like further information about this, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Ballot place
The ballot results are expected to be announced in May 2024 and if you are lucky enough to get a place we would of course love to have you running as part of CCLG!
There’s no minimum sponsorship, just raise as much as you can.
Why join CCLG?
Whichever way you choose to join us, we’d be delighted to support you. Your free fundraising pack includes advice and tips, sponsorship forms and a CCLG running vest or t-shirt.
Most importantly we will provide you with a reason to put in those months of training and fundraising, because you know that your efforts are going towards helping us to beat childhood cancer.
