We’re proud to be the 2024 TCS London Marathon Charity of the Year. Run for #TeamSamaritans – in London or wherever you choose – and help people believe a better tomorrow is possible. We're with you every step of the way.

How you can apply to run with us

Every pound you raise running the marathon will help people struggling to cope. You can run for us if you have a ballot place or apply to run in the TCS London Marathon MyWay virtual event.

The London Marathon is the best day of the year in London. I've completed marathons in Singapore, New York, Amsterdam, Dublin but London is always my favourite. It's my home town and the atmosphere is electric. My fundraising ensures that there is always someone on the end of a phone to help someone in need and get them through the bad times.
