TCS London Marathon 2026

All of our charity places for 2026 have now been filled, but if you have your own place we would love to have you on our team! No minimum fundraising required for ballot places.

The London Marathon is one of the best marathons in the world, offering a winning combination of a quick course and great side line support. Music in Hospitals & Care has a limited number of spaces to run the famous marathon route in London. We are looking for runners to champion the charity and help us raise vital funds to share the healing power of live music people across the UK.
