Join thousands of people taking on the ultimate running challenge in 2027 – 26.2 miles through the streets of London – and help us support children and families affected by acquired brain injury.

We are inviting applications to run the London Marathon for Child Brain Injury Trust because we have a very limited number of charity places for this iconic event.

The London Marathon is one of the most prestigious and oversubscribed marathons in the world, with demand far exceeding the number of available entries. Because our places are so sought after, we use an application process to ensure they are awarded to runners who are genuinely committed to fundraising, sharing our mission, and making a meaningful impact for children and families affected by acquired brain injury.

By asking applicants to tell us about their motivation and fundraising plans, we can allocate our limited place fairly and responsibly, helping us maximise both awareness and vital funds for the work of the Child Brain Injury Trust. Applications will close on the 30th April 2026.

If you’re lucky enough to secure your own place in the TCS London Marathon 2027 ballot, we’d love for you to join our team and fundraise to help families affected by childhood acquired brain injuries.

Let us know you have a place.

We’ll be here to support you from the moment you register until you cross that finish line in The Mall.
