1. Sightsavers charity place

Sightsavers has a limited number of charity ballot places for the event each year. Note that all our places for the 2025 marathon have now been filled. If you’d like to be added to our waiting list, please complete our application form.

• Charity places are strictly limited. We ask our runners to each fundraise a minimum of £2,000: as a charity, we rely on runners to meet their pledge.
• We will be in touch with the outcome of your application. If you’re successful and we offer you one of our charity places, we will register you with the organisers. You will then need to complete the registration with them to secure your place.
• We ask you to fundraise an initial £500 by 22 November 2024. If you miss this deadline, your place may be offered to someone else

2. Public ballot

The official ballot for the 2025 event has now closed, and results have been announced. Find out more on the official website.

If you secure a place through the ballot, we’d love you to fundraise for Sightsavers! If you have a ballot place, you won’t have to achieve a fundraising target, but everything you raise helps to support our vital work. For details, email [email protected].
