TCS London Marathon 2027

The London Marathon is one of the world’s most iconic running events — and in 2027, Team BTS will once again take on the challenge to raise vital funds for families affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.

Have you secured your own ballot place for 2027? We’d love you to join Team BTS. You’ll receive dedicated fundraising support, a Brain Tumour Support running vest and encouragement from our team and wider marathon community every step of the way.

Every mile you run and every pound you raise will help ensure that no one has to face the impact of a brain tumour diagnosis alone.

“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, BTS London Marathon runner
