Set yourself the ultimate challenge for 2027 and take part in the TCS London Marathon. This world-famous run takes you through the capital’s closed roads around the River Thames. As you weave from east to west, you’ll discover London’s stunning landmarks and sights, such as Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, the London Eye and Big Ben, with an epic finish line on The Mall. The London Marathon is the largest annual fundraising event in the world!

By joining Team Lullaby, you’ll be helping families who have lost a baby to receive specialist help, funding research to prevent more babies from dying suddenly and unexpectedly, and empowering more parents and carers with advice on how to keep their baby safe.

If you are successful in securing a charity place with us, you will be asked to pay a non-refundable registration fee of £100 and to fundraise a minimum of £2,500 by the end of May 2027, with several fundraising milestones in the lead up to that.
