Gain your place with the organisers directly (Own Place)

The Virgin Money London Marathon ballot has now closed. The ballot results are announced in October. If you're successful in the ballot, we'd be delighted to welcome you to the Heart Runners team. You'll receive all the benefits of a Charity Place runner but there's no fundraising target - we simply ask you to raise as much as you can.

Contact us on 0844 477 1181 (Monday to Friday, 9am until 5pm) or email heartrunners@bhf.org.uk.

Important: By signing up as an Own Place runner we will not provide a place in the event. You must have already received your place and paid for your registration directly to the Virgin Money London Marathon organisers'. If you successfully gained a place via the ballot and have paid your entry registration fee direct to the event organisers, you can join our team as an Own Place runner.
