Run for us in the 2026 London Marathon
TheGivingMachine's mission is to provide funding opportunities for all good causes to ensure their sustainable future. To help us continue offering this service, we are looking for amazing people to run the 2026 London Marathon.
The London Marathon has raised over £1 billion for charity so far and for the last 12 consecutive years, has been recognised as the world's largest one day annual fundraising event. In 2024, £73.5 million was raised for charity.
In 2024, there were 840,000+ applications and 56,314 runners completing the London Marathon, which is the most popular marathon in the world! Do you want to be part of this in 2026?
Whether you're a novice or experienced runner the 16 week training plan will make sure you are prepared to run the 26.2 miles. With a beautiful route which includes iconic landmarks and buildings it's not just the cheering which will get you over the finish line!
To run for us, we ask that you commit to raising a minimum of £2,000 in sponsorship. In return we will offer encouragement and support, including training and fundraising tips, as well as a branded top to wear on marathon day.
If you are passionate about supporting our charity and interested in this opportunity, we would love to hear from you. To enter, please fill in the form below and we will be in touch by 3rd July 2025, to let you know if you have been successful in securing a place.
