London Marathon 2026
Sunday April 26th
The 2026 TCS London Marathon takes place on Sunday 26 April 2026. The ballot will open on Friday 25 April 2025 and close on Friday 2 May 2025.
In 2025 we had five intrepid runners taking part in this iconic event. The combined total of funding is in excess of £10,000 and counting. The London Marathon combines elite athletics, mass participation and record-breaking fundraising all in one race! Starting in Greenwich, the 26.2 mile-long course passes through the streets of London, over Tower Bridge, and then onto Buckingham Palace and across the famous finish line on The Mall.
National Eczema Society has a small number of charity places in the London Marathon for our supporters. The advice here is if you think you want to take part get in touch as soon as possible.
The London Marathon is a critical income generator for our charity, enabling us to continue supporting sufferers in the UK living with eczema who need our help. That’s why we ask our runners to commit to raising a minimum of £2,000 for their National Eczema Society place in the London Marathon. This can be raised through sponsorship and/or a combination of other fundraising activities.
