We’re excited to announce that our ballot is now open for a charity place in the TCS London Marathon 2026!
This world-famous event takes place on Sunday 26 April 2026 and is an unforgettable experience for any runner. Starting in Greenwich, the route takes you past some of London’s most iconic landmarks – including Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, and the Houses of Parliament – before finishing on The Mall, right in front of Buckingham Palace.
Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or simply to cross the finish line, this is a chance to take on an incredible challenge while raising vital funds and awareness for families living with Smith-Magenis syndrome.
