TCS London Marathon 2025, 27 APRIL

If you would like to run in 2025, the London Marathon public ballot is now open. You can now enter by clicking here. The ballot closes on 26 April 2025.

We have a limited number of charity places. There is a registration fee of £100 and a minimum sponsorship of £2,000. We host our own mini ballot as we get more applications than places. You can apply for one of our places by filling out the form below in as much detail as possible to increase your chances.

Please make sure to apply for both ways to increase your chance of gaining a place and running for the Down’s Syndrome Association.

If you have been lucky enough to gain your own place and would like to join Team 21, please email events@downs-syndrome.org.uk
