TCS London Marathon 2025

The London Marathon is one of the most popular events in the athletics calendar.  Over 40,000 runners will take part in this famous 26.2 mile route and thousands of spectators will line the streets to cheer you on.

Places for the event in 2025 are highly sought after but we have several to allocate to dedicated supporters who feel they can commit to raising a minimum of £1,500.  We also ask successful applicants to pay a registration fee of £100.

This target sometimes seems like a daunting figure – but there are endless ways of fundraising, from bake sales to corporate sponsorship and match funding. We are here to support you every step of the way!

Lucky enough to secure a place through the ballot?

If you’re one of the lucky few to secure your own race place, we’d love you to run for Francis House. There is no minimum sponsorship – we are truly grateful of any donations.

All Francis House marathon runners will receive ongoing support from the Fundraising Team including fundraising materials, a running vest, plus training and fundraising guidance.

If you would like to discuss running events and supporting Francis House, please contact julie.williams@francishouse.org.uk or call Julie on 0161 443 2200.
