London Marathon 2027

Thank you for your interest in running the London Marathon 2027 in support of PoTS UK

We are incredibly excited to offer 5 charity places for the London Marathon 2027. These places are highly sought after and come at a significant cost to the charity, so we ask all applicants to carefully read the information below before applying.

Charity Place Details:
Registration fee: £75 (payable once your place is confirmed)
Minimum fundraising pledge: £2,500
Number of places available: 5

The registration fee and fundraising minimum help us to cover the cost of purchasing marathon places and ensure that we are able to raise vital funds to continue supporting people affected by PoTS.

We need to be confident that each runner can meet the fundraising commitment so that the charity benefits as much as possible.

Because places are limited, we ask applicants to tell us:
  • Your story – why you want to run for PoTS UK and what the charity means to you
  • Your fundraising plan – how you intend to reach (or exceed) the £2,500 target
This helps us fairly allocate places and support our runners in the best possible way.

As a thank you for fundraising for PoTS UK, you’ll receive:
  • A PoTS UK fundraising pack
  • Ongoing support from our team
Deadline to register your initial interest:
Friday 20th February 2026
Successful applicants will be contacted after the deadline with next steps.
We are proud to say that every penny you raise will go directly towards supporting PoTS UK’s work, helping us to provide information, support, and advocacy for people living with PoTS.
