Challenge events

Are you interested in challenging yourself by raising money for charity whilst taking on a major physical event? We’d love you to fundraise for Crimestoppers. 

Perhaps you or someone you know have been a victim of crime, and you would like to show your support?

We can offer places even if you have not been successful in the ballot for the TCS London Marathon - and we will support you every step of the way.

TCS London Marathon  

No other race can match the experience of the London Marathon, currently the largest fundraising event in the world.

The 2026 TCS London Marathon is scheduled to take place on Sunday 26th April 2026, and we would love you to choose us as your fundraising partner. You may already have your own place or, if you have not been successful in the ballot, you are very welcome to apply to us for a place.

Own place runners

If you have secured your own place in the 2026 TCS London Marathon, you can still run and fundraise for Crimestoppers.

Charity place (Golden Bond)

If you didn’t manage to secure a place in the ballot you can apply for a Crimestoppers’ charity place in the London Marathon.

Please note that we ask our charity place runners for a registration fee of £100 and you’ll need to pledge to raise £2,000 (overseas runners are required to raise £2,200).

Helping you on your way

We’re here to support you every step of the way. Here’s what previous Team Crimestoppers runners said about our support:

“The best thing I have done in a long time was partner with Crimestoppers for the London Marathon! The Crimestoppers team were wonderful in all aspects - training group connection, fundraising platforms, race weekend support, and more. Thank you Crimestoppers for the opportunity to run the streets of London in this very special marathon!”

Holly-Rae Van hoof, Crimestoppers London Marathon runner

“The day itself was amazing from start to finish. The crowd was phenomenal. One thing I will remember is at mile 19, I hear “Go on, Jacky," and I turned around and saw a lady from Crimestoppers wave. I waved back, carried on - and that kept me going with a smile on my face.”
