TCS London Marathon – 2025 Registration & 2024 Results

London, UK	Apr 27, 2025	Registration closed

The TCS London Marathon is an annual marathon held in London, United Kingdom. Founded in 1981, the TCS London Marathon is usually held in April and has been one of the six World Marathon Majors since 2006.

The TCS London Marathon is one of the largest running events in the United Kingdom and has a significant charity component attached to the marathon, with participants helping to raise over £1 billion since its founding.

The race caters to everyone –  an open marathon for the masses, professional races for elite athletes, wheelchair races, and a mini-marathon event for under-17 athletes. It is largely a flat course set around the River Thames aiding runners in achieving their personal bests (PBs).

The 2020 London Marathon was postponed and only allowed elite participants due to the COVID-19 outbreak. For the same reason, the 2021 and 2022 editions were postponed to October.

The race has a title sponsorship, sponsored by Virgin Money for several years before it was branded the “TCS London Marathon” in 2022.
