The London Marathon is one of the world’s largest and most iconic races, with over 56,000 participants crossing the finish line in 2025.

Applications for our London Marathon charity places have now closed. If you have your own place in the marathon you can still run to support us. We’ll provide you with fundraising, training and other support as well as a DofE running top.  If you’re interested in joining team DofE please get in touch at [email protected].
