Let your London Marathon dreams take flight!
Each spring, a colourful flock of thousands gathers to take part in the London Marathon, one of the most famous races in the world. You can be there in 2027, by joining Team RSPB! Whether you’re a fledging runner or hoping to fly around with a PB, when you run the London Marathon with us, you’ll be raising vital funds for the wildlife you love.
Applications are open for 2027
Applications to represent us at London 2027 are open, and with four RSPB spots available, we’d love for you to apply. So, if you’re ready to swoop to success in the capital city, simply fill in the application form.
Why run for RSPB?
When you run with us, you’ll receive support and encouragement from a dedicated member of our Fundraising Team. They’ll be available throughout your training to help you smash your fundraising target and will be your biggest cheerleader on race day! We’ll also give you an RSPB running vest, so you stand out from the crowd.
By taking on this incredible challenge and fundraising for RSPB, you’ll be helping us save threatened species, look after iconic landscapes and speak up for nature at a time when it really needs a champion.
Already have a ballot place?
If you’re already taking part in the London Marathon 2027, we’d love to have you on Team RSPB! As a ballot runner there’s no fundraising goal - we'd love to have you join the flock whatever amount you hope to raise, and we’ll be there to give you our full support. But if you raise at least £150 for helping to protect and restore our amazing natural world, you’ll also get our very smart charity running vest.
