Running events don't get more iconic than the London Marathon.
Feel the buzz of the crowd and run past some of London's most iconic landmarks on traffic-free roads. It's the ultimate bucket-list event. And with every step you take, you'll be fuelling our mission to create a world where wildlife thrives.
All of our charity places for the 2027 marathon are now taken. But if you have your own ballot place in the marathon, we'd love you to join Team ZSL.
Have your own ballot place?
The London Marathon ballot results will be announced by the end of June 2026. If you are lucky enough to receive a place, we’d love you to join Team ZSL.
There is no minimum fundraising target for an own place runner, and you’ll receive support from our fundraising team to help you raise money for wildlife and prepare for the race day.
Simply fill out the below form to join Team ZSL, and we'll get in touch to support you in the lead up to the marathon.
