London Marathon 2026

The London Marathon is back for 2026!

Have you secured a place in the ballot? Why not make your miles matter by fundraising for the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation—without the pressure of a minimum fundraising target.

The public ballot for the 2026 London Marathon opens on 18 April, and you can find out more about how to enter here: London Marathon Ballot.

The road to the Start Line is a special one. It's a journey filled with excitement, dedication, early mornings, and long training runs. But it's all worth it when you cross that famous Finish Line on The Mall—completing one of the most iconic races in the world.

If you're lucky enough to gain a ballot place and would like to run in support of the Foundation, we’d love to have you on Team Doddie. You’ll receive a free running vest, fundraising support, and be part of a team making a real difference in the fight against MND.

To join or find out more, please get in touch with our Community and Events Fundraiser, Finlay, at finlay@myname5doddie.co.uk.
