The TCS London Marathon 2026 is one of the world’s most iconic races, and Brain Tumour Support is proud to be part of it. The atmosphere, the cheering crowds, the famous landmarks — and that unforgettable moment when you cross the finish line. Every mile you run with Team BTS raises vital funds and awareness for families affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.
Applications for our 12 Gold Bond places for 2026 are now closed, but if you have your own ballot place we’d love you to join our marathon community. You’ll get the same encouragement, support, and resources as our Gold Bond runners, plus the knowledge that every step you take helps us be there for anyone facing a brain tumour diagnosis.

“When I was running, I knew I had the whole charity behind me. Hitting the wall is tough, but knowing I was helping thousands of people kept me going.” Sarah, Brain Tumour Support London Marathon runner
As part of Team BTS, you’ll receive:
It was such an honour for me to run the London Marathon for Brain Tumour Support. I’ve seen first hand the incredible impact the charity has on thousands of families lives.
The fundraising team were amazing at giving me fundraising ideas and keeping me updated on the impact my fundraising could have. I felt like part of the Brain Tumour Support family. When I was running I knew I had the whole charity behind me and when I had to dig deep (hitting the wall is a thing!) knowing I was helping thousands of people impacted by a brain tumour kept me going. I can’t wait to pull on the Brain Tumour Support running vest and do something special again. – Sarah
