Double FAQsSecured a place? Don't forget to confirm it
If you've been offered a place, you'll need to confirm your details by 16:00 BST on Friday 31 July to secure your entry.
Please note: Even if you've already paid, you must still complete the confirmation process.
As part of our commitment to creating more sustainable events, you'll be able to choose whether you'd like to receive your finisher medal and T-shirt when you confirm your place.
There is no additional cost, but only participants who opt in will receive these items.
Missed out in the ballot?
Did you know you can get a second chance?
When you enter the ballot and choose to double your chances, great things happen:
Reduced entry fee. If you get a place through the ballot, your fee drops from £79.99 to £49.99.
Double your chances of securing a place. If you’re not successful in the main ballot, be automatically entered into a second ballot - giving you at least double the chance of getting a place. If you’re successful in either draw, your entry is fully prepaid and confirmed.
Thank you gift if you don’t get a place. If you’re unsuccessful in both ballots, you’ll receive a free hydration vest worth over £100, and your donation will support the London Marathon Foundation, helping to inspire activity across the UK.
What happens next?
You’ll receive a confirmation email when you apply. If you donated your entry fee, you’ll also receive a payment receipt. Please allow time for these emails to arrive, demand is high and remember to check your junk folder. The ballot results will be announced by early July. 
What happens if I get offered a place?
UK runners who didn’t choose the double your chances option when applying will need to pay the full £79.99 entry fee.
International runners will need to pay the £275 international entry fee, which includes a carbon offset fee for international travel

What happens if I don't get offered a place?
