London Marathon 2025

Taking place on 27th April 2025, this race will be the 45th London Marathon and is set to be one of the biggest and most exciting ones yet! The world-famous London Marathon route has remained largely unchanged since the inaugural race in 1981 and encompasses many of the capital’s most mesmerising landmarks, old and new. 

Charity Places

You have the opportunity to be a part of this special London Marathon, by applying for one of our charity places.

As this is such a popular event we have an application process for places. Once you have completed the register interest online form, we will send you an application form. Please ensure you detail your fundraising ideas in your application, as these tend to be the applications that are more successful. 

If your application is successful there will be a £100 registration fee and a minimum sponsorship target of £2000.

You can apply for a charity place by clicking the "Apply for a charity place" button at the bottom of this page. We will then email you across an application form for you to fill out. 

The deadline for charity place applications is 31st August 2024.

Ballot Places

If you were lucky enough to get a place in the ballot, you can choose to raise money for our Injured Veterans. If you use your ballot place to fundraise for Blesma there is no minimum fundraising ask...just raise what you can.

Let us know you are fundraising for us and we will send you a fundraising welcome pack including:

• Blesma running vest or t-shirt
• Blesma wristband
• Other Blesma goodies
• Certificate to recognise your kind fundraising

If you have any questions about charity places or ballot places, please contact Kirsty via fundraising@blesma.org
