Everything you need to know

Applications remain open until all places are filled. As spaces are extremely limited, we recommend applying as early as possible.

Once your application is successful, you will receive an email with instructions to complete your registration and pay your registration fee.

You will later receive an invite from London Marathon Events to complete a secondary registration online. This is mandatory to confirm your place in the race.

Charity place runners are required to raise a minimum of £2,000 to support our mission.

If you cannot participate in the 2027 event, please contact us as soon as possible.

If you have raised at least 50% of your fundraising target (£1,000), you may be eligible to defer your place to 2028. You will need to pay the registration fee again, but your fundraising will carry forward.

• Deferrals are not guaranteed and depend on available places for 2028
• Charity places can only be deferred once
• If you have raised less than 50%, you will need to reapply

For deferral requests, email londonmarathon2027@naarisamata.org

We recommend using Enthuse (the official fundraising partner) or JustGiving to set up your fundraising page. Both make it easy to share and collect donations online.

Absolutely. If you have secured a ballot place, you can choose to run for NaariSamata. Unlike charity place runners, there is no minimum fundraising target — just raise as much as you can.

To join Team NaSa, complete our ballot place form on the website.

There is no required minimum for ballot place runners, but we encourage you to raise as much as possible to support our programmes for women and girls.

We recommend Enthuse or JustGiving to set up your online fundraising page.

The 2027 TCS London Marathon takes place on Sunday 25 April 2027.

The 26.2-mile route starts in Greenwich Park and finishes on The Mall, passing iconic London landmarks including:

• Tower Bridge
• Canary Wharf
• The Houses of Parliament
• Buckingham Palace

All runners must collect their race number, timing chip, and kit bag at the TCS London Marathon Running Show, held in the days leading up to the event. Details will be shared closer to race day.

Use the official TCS London Marathon App to track runners in real-time on race day.

• Your race number and timing chip
• Comfortable running gear and your NaariSamata vest
• Energy snacks and hydration
• Warm clothes for before and after the race

If you are unable to complete the marathon, seek assistance from a race marshal or medical staff along the route. There are multiple drop-out points with transport back to the finish area.
