The Virgin London Marathon

Online Ballot
We recommend that anyone interested in running the Virgin London Marathon to apply early for a ballot place. The ballot entry system will open soon after the 22nd April 2012 race on the Virgin London Marathon website. The ballot will close as soon as 125,000 entries have been received. Often this could be within days or even hours. If you are successful in obtaining a ballot place in the 2013 marathon (announced in October), we hope you will consider running for the DRT.

If you would like to be considered for one of our gold bond charity places in the 2013 Virgin London Marathon, please get in touch below.
