Date: Sunday 25 April 2027
The London marathon is iconic and one of the most popular marathons in the world. The event is oversubscribed every year. Wooden Spoon has a limited number of spaces available, for Sunday 25 April 2027, to fundraise for our projects to help children living with disability, in deprivation or those disengaged from mainstream society.
We ask you to cover the cost of your place so that 100% of your fundraising goes to those children and young people.
Entry is £150 with a minimum fundraising target of £2,500.
All runners receive:
- A Wooden Spoon training t-shirt and bobble hat
- A Team Wooden Spoon personalised running vest
- Fundraising resources and support
- Team Wooden Spoon WhatsApp team group
- Opportunity for Grandstand viewing places
- Post marathon social event
We expect to receive more enquiries than we have places for, so we run an internal selection ballot.
Our ballot for our 2027 charity places has closed.
If you would like to express your interest in the 2028 event, please email us and we will get in contact with you when we start our process for 2028. Email us on: challenges@woodenspoon.org.uk
Have your own place through the marathon ballot 2027?
If you have been lucky enough to get a space though the main 2027 Double TCS London Marathon ballot we would love you to join our other runners in Team Wooden Spoon. You will receive the same package of support and benefits as our runners above and your fundraising target is yours to set. To join email: challenges@woodenspoon.org.uk
