London Marathon 2026
Sunday April 26th
The next TCS London Marathon takes place on Sunday 26 April 2026 and the public ballot for the race has now closed.
In April 2025 we had seven intrepid runners taking part in this iconic event. The combined total of funding they raised for National Eczema Society is in excess of £16,000 and counting. They did a brilliant job raising awareness of eczema too!
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. Below are some of the prouder moments of our 2025 runners. It’s a great feeling at the finish!

National Eczema Society has a small number of charity places in the London Marathon for our supporters. Due to the huge demand for places, unfortunately we are no longer accepting applications for one of our places in the 2026 race. We will be in touch to update on entry status for anyone who has already applied for a National Eczema Society place.
The London Marathon is a critical income generator for our charity, enabling us to continue supporting the many people affected by 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.
