The record-breaking 1,338,544 people from the UK and around the world who entered the ballot to participate in the 2027 TCS London Marathon will discover their result today.
It was recently announced that the 2027 event will be a double marathon, taking place over the weekend of 24-25 April next year. In a world-first, an astonishing 100,000 people will take part across the two days.
Everyone who entered the 2027 ballot was automatically included in a random draw for both days: Saturday 24 April and Sunday 25 April. Successful entrants will now find out which day they have been allocated and can start planning to take on the TCS London Marathon course, from Greenwich to Westminster, on what will be a historic weekend for the event.
Results are being sent by email to all applicants over the course of today.

Hugh Brasher, CEO of London Marathon Events, organisers of the TCS London Marathon, said: “The 2027 Double TCS London Marathon will be a weekend of celebration like no other in history. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 100,000 people to take part across the two days, with 45,000 taking part on Saturday and 55,000 on Sunday.
“We know there’s a record number of people eagerly awaiting today’s results. For those who are successful, their exciting journey to the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon begins now.
"For those who didn't get a place in the ballot, you can still be part of the TCS London Marathon by applying for one of the charity places – which, for 2027 only, includes the chance to run on the Saturday.
“We are thrilled to be able to offer this unique opportunity to take part across two days and we can’t wait to welcome 100,000 people to the streets of London next spring.”
