Applications for the 2027 Charity Ballot are now closed
Thank you to everyone who applied. Outcomes were sent to all charities in December 2026.
The hugely popular TCS London Marathon Charity Ballot offers 500 charities the chance to win a place. Only UK-registered charities that have no charity entries for the 2027 edition of the event can apply. A total of 500 places are available through a random ballot. No charity is eligible for more than one entry.
