Applications are now closed for our 2026 London Marathon Charity places.
We have received a sufficient amount of applications to allow us to build a great team, with a healthy waitlist of runners ready in the wings. If you have already applied and think your application may not have been acknowledged, please check your junk mail folder.
Enter the ballot!
The ballot typically opens Marathon weekend and closes 7 days later. Please keep your eyes on www.londonmarathonevents.co.uk/london-marathon and enter when it opens! If you are selected for a charity place, and then also successful in the ballot, you can accept the ballot place knowing you will receive the same level of support from us. We can then re-assign your charity place to another runner ensuring we grow our team as big as possible!
All our Marathon fundraisers will receive support where needed, including an exclusive WhatsApp group, where current and past PSPA runners can come together to support, inspire and mentor you. We will provide you with a PSPA running top and a charity t-shirt to help you raise awareness and promote your challenge. Additional promotional materials such as sponsor forms, PSPA balloons, flags, clappers, fact cards and leaflets are available on request.
Got your own place?
Use your place to raise funds for PSPA and you’ll receive the same support as our charity place runners including a running top and t-shirt. The biggest difference is you get to set your own fundraising target! Let us know you have a place already and we’ll send you links for setting up your fundraising page and joining our WhatsApp chat.
