Congratulations on becoming a charity partner!

We can't wait to welcome you on Event Day, but first, keep reading for an introduction to the platforms you will use as a charity partner with London Marathon Events.

Registering your participants

Let's Do This

Let’s Do This is the official registration platform used by London Marathon Events to manage charity entries across all events. Charities use the platform to allocate their entries, invite participants to register, and track progress through a central Partner Dashboard. We will contact charities as soon as your event allocations are available.

Charities who already have a Let’s Do This account can simply log in to access their Partner Dashboard and manage their entries. New charities will receive a unique claim link by email to set up their account and gain access to their dashboard for the first time. For more guidance, you can view our handy Partner Dashboard Guide.

Once you have allocated your entries, you can keep an eye on who has registered via Let's Do This, in case you need to give them a little nudge.

It is essential that participants complete their registration as soon as possible by the relevant deadline, as specified in the table below, otherwise they won't be able to take part.

How fundraising works

Enthuse

Enthuse is our official online fundraising platform. Our partnership with Enthuse provides a simple, integrated fundraising experience for charities and participants across our events. 

Once your participants have registered through Let’s Do This, an Enthuse fundraising page will automatically be generated for them.

Each page is branded to your charity, allowing supporters to start fundraising straight away, while you can track donations and activity through a central dashboard. To receive fundraising income, charities must complete a one-time onboarding process with Enthuse. This ensures donations can be collected and transferred correctly. 

To receive their fundraising money, you’ll need to onboard your charity with Enthuse. We will notify you when onboarding is required, and you’ll be able to use Enthuse as soon as your account is set up. You can also refer to Enthuse’s onboarding guide.

You can also refer to the Enthuse FAQs below. If you can't find the answer you're looking for, please email their Support Team.

LME Charity Hub

The London Marathon Events (LME) Charity Hub recently launched to give charities a single, central place to access key information, view entry allocations and activity.

Currently, as part of the first release, only charity partners with entries in the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon have been invited to set up their accounts. 

If you have been invited to set up your account via an email invitation, you can click the button below to log in to the Hub to:

  • Access charity and personal details
  • View event milestones
  • Preview emails that have been sent to participants
  • View charity entry allocations, entry type breakdown and fill rate per event (for now, only the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon is viewable)

 

If you haven't been contacted to set up an account, don't worry! We are continuing to develop and add new and exciting features to better support and serve our charity partners across all events in future releases.

Key Charity Hub notes:

Can I register participants on the LME Charity Hub?

The LME Charity Hub is not designed to register participants for our events. Let's Do This must still be used to register all participants.

Who can access the LME Charity Hub?

To start things off, we’re inviting charities with entries in 2027 Double TCS London Marathon and their contacts who are involved with the event before wider rollout. This means unless you received the invitation email you will not have the correct permissions to sign in.

Signing up using your email address vs. a shared email address

As outlined in our Terms & Conditions, users that have access to the LME Charity Hub will be able to view your charity information and data. We therefore advise that users register individually with their email address over a shared email address. In the future, users will be able to invite and accept their colleagues into the Charity Hub, and from a compliance and audit perspective it’s important we can clearly track who has access and who has invited others.

Getting to the Start Line

Event Packs

The Event Pack contains the all-important bib number and timing chip, as well as other important items such as a kitbag (depending on the event). Without their Event Pack, participants can't take part in an event.

For the TCS London Marathon, participants need to collect their Event Pack from the TCS London Marathon Running Show, dates and further details of which will be available in the weeks leading up to Marathon Day.

For all the other events, their Event Pack will be posted to the address saved in their Let’s Do This account – so remind them to keep this up to date. 

If a participant attends without their bib number with the timing chip they cannot enter the event

Once registered, participants will receive regular email newsletters from us. They’ll also be sent a Participant Event Guide, which includes everything they need to know before, during and after the event.
