London Marathon 2026

Before filling in this expression of interest form for a Wirral Hospice charity place, we ask that you apply for an official London Marathon ballot place.

The official London Marathon ballot opens on Fri 25 April and closes on Fri 2 May – all applicants will be notified of their outcome in July 2025.

Once you have applied for an official London Marathon ballot place, you can register your interest for ONE of FOUR Wirral Hospice charity places we have for the 2026 London Marathon, which takes place on Sun 26 April 2026.

We will contact you in July to see if you’ve been successful in securing your own ballot place and wish to run for Wirral Hospice, with no minimum sponsorship commitment.

Or if you wish to apply for our own ballot places, which will come with a minimum sponsorship commitment of around £2,000 per place if you were successful in being chosen for one of our Wirral Hospice charity places.

There is no commitment from you at this stage, it is just an expression of interest form so that we can contact you in July.
