The details

For the first time, Dravet Syndrome UK is delighted to have four places available for the iconic TCS London Marathon 2026.

The TCS London Marathon is an iconic 26.2-mile course set around the River Thames. Over 40,000 runners will tackle the closed road course starting in Greenwich and finishing on The Mall, taking in iconic sights such as the Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace along the way.

Apply for a Dravet Syndrome UK place

Applications for a place to fundraise for Dravet Syndrome UK in the 2026 TCS London Marathon are now open and you can apply for a place here.

Details to consider;

  • The minimum fundraising target is £2,500 (excluding gift aid).
  • There is also a registration fee of £120, which is paid if you are successful in securing a place.
  • Your application will require you to let us know why you specifically want to support Dravet Syndrome UK, how much and how you plan to fundraise. 
  • Our applications will close on 31st July 2025. 
  • We will then review all applications carefully and notify you of whether or not you have been successful by the end of September – probably sooner.
  • Unfortunately, we expect to receive many more applications than we have places, so we can’t guarantee that everyone who applies will be able to secure a marathon place.
