Apply for a ballot place

You can enter the public ballot for the 2027 event from Friday 24 April 2026 to Friday 1 May 2026 (4pm) via the official London Marathon website. Ballot entries are selected at random, with results announced in early July 2026. The organisers are exploring a one‑off two‑day format for the 2027 TCS London Marathon and should permission be granted, you will be entered for both Saturday and Sunday, significantly increasing your chances.

Why your support matters

Thanks to supporters like you, BSAVA PetSavers has invested over £2.7 million into more than 300 research projects since 1974.

This funding has helped improve the treatment and understanding of many conditions affecting companion animals, including:

  • Cancer
  • Heart disease
  • Neurological disorders
  • Bone and joint disease
  • Immune conditions
  • Gastrointestinal and skin diseases

However, many conditions still aren’t fully understood.
