Apply to join Team LHM 2027 TCS London Marathon

Thank you for your interest in joining Team Little Hearts Matter for the 2027 TCS London Marathon.

The London Marathon is one of the world’s most iconic races, and we are incredibly proud to offer a limited number of charity places to supporters who are passionate about making a difference for children, young people and families living with half a working heart.

Because places are limited and demand is expected to be high, applications will be reviewed competitively. A key part of our selection process is understanding how applicants plan to achieve the £2,000 fundraising target, so please provide as much detail as possible in your fundraising responses.

Please answer all questions in as much detail as possible. Strong applications typically include detailed fundraising plans and personal motivations for taking part.

Applications close: midnight Sunday 9th August 2026
Successful applicants will be contacted by: 21nd August 2026

Thank you for supporting Little Hearts Matter 💙
