TCS London Marathon

Yes. The disability places are for those who have a permanent disability or long-term health condition, including hidden/invisible conditions, such as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, but proof of disability is required.
Examples of proof of disability are on the below FAQ. However, it is recognised that it can be difficult obtaining or sharing proof of disability for a number of reasons, so please do reach out to accessibility@londonmarathonevents.co.uk if you need to discuss this further.

London Marathon accept a range of documents as proof of disability, including:
• A medical certificate
• Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
• A doctor’s letter
• A disability ID card
• A Blue Badge

If a participant is unable to provide any of the above, they should contact us by emailing 
accessibility@londonmarathonevents.co.uk to discuss alternative options

The participant must complete the application form themselves. However, if they need support completing it we advise they contact their charity for assistance.

Yes, the application form includes a feature called Immersive Reader, which helps make the form more accessible to screen reader users and those with additional reading or visual needs. This tool allows users to have text read aloud, adjust text spacing and size, and translate content into different languages.
For the best experience, we recommend using an up-to-date browser such as Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.

The entry cost is the same as the 2026 ballot cost of £79.99. If the participant is successful, they will be sent a unique link from Let’s Do This to complete their registration.

London Marathon don’t currently offer specific bib stickers for blind or visually impaired participants, but they're actively looking to introduce this in the future. They do have ‘Guide Runner’ and ‘Support Runner’ bibs available for collection at the TCS London Marathon Running Show.
In the meantime, London Marathon can provide ‘Give Me Space’ sticker's and can be used to help support blind and visually impaired participants on the course.

If a participant needs to be propelled at any point during the course, even partially, they must 
apply for an Assisted Wheelchair entry. If they can self-propel for the entire marathon, they are 
welcome to take part using a general ballot place or charity place if successful and cannot have Support Runner(s) propel them.
They can, however, request a Support Runner to assist in other ways, such as 
administering medication, refuelling, or accessing toilets. Please refer to the guidance for more information on the types of wheelchairs permitted on the course.

Yes, Support Runners will also receive a medal as long as they finish alongside the participant they are supporting. For example, if the participant has to withdraw from the event due to injury, the Support Runner will have to withdraw too or their result will be disqualified.

Yes, but the participant will have a total of eight hours from their start time to complete the course within the official cut off (eight hours), however, there will be a secondary finish line open until 23:59.

All participants will be seeded based on their predicted finish time, if a participant is predicted to take longer than the eight-hour cut off then please get in touch with accessibility@londonamarathonevents.co.uk

There is no obligation, whatsoever, to do so, but if you would prefer to personally contribute towards your sponsorship amount, we’re more than happy to accept personal donations.

Struggling to hit your target? Try a simple fundraiser like a cake sale, raffle, or quiz night. These can really boost your total. 

Your efforts matter. 1 in 123 people in the UK live with Crohn’s or Colitis, and every pound you raise helps fund vital research, support services, better care and faster diagnosis.
