    About the event

    Every year, tens of thousands of runners take part in this incredible run, cheered on by thousands of spectators, all broadcast on the BBC. This is one of the 'bucket list' events!

    We have a limited number of places for the TCS London Marathon 2027. For your chance to run one of the most popular marathons in the world. Please fill in our application form with as much information as possible about why you would like to run for the RSPCA, and how you will raise the £2,500 minimum sponsorship pledge.  We will review all applications and let you know the outcome by October 2026.
