All of our 2026 charity places have now been filled. If you were lucky enough to receive a ballot place, you can still use it to raise money for Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Run the world’s greatest fundraising marathon.
Since the very first race back in 1981, the London Marathon has become the world’s most famous fundraising race. 50,000 runners take part on the day, many competing in fancy dress costumes for good causes, and places are highly sought after in this top event.
If you are successful, please get in touch. We’d love for you to run for us and help raise money for sick children and babies at Bristol Children’s Hospital and St Michael’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. You can register as a fundraiser here.
There is no minimum sponsorship if you have secured your own place, just raise as much as you can. Create a JustGiving page for your fundraising.
Well done! We wish you the best of luck in the 2026 London Marathon.

Steph, 2023 London Marathon runnerI never thought I would run a marathon, but it was one of the best decisions I have ever made!
The London Marathon is an iconic event, but the day was more incredible than I thought it would be – a real bucket list experience.
Even in those tough moments, the crowd and fellow runners are out there to pull you through and running for a cause close to your heart helps immensely. When you cross the finish line and get handed the medal, all the hard work feels completely worth it.
