Molly Ollys is delighted to say that we have a limited number of places available for the 2026 London Marathon!
Although it is still early in 2025, perhaps you are looking for a longer term challenge, or were unsuccessful getting a place for the 2025 London Marathon? Now is the time to get in early and apply for a place in the 2026 event. And you’ll have plenty of training time!
A Molly Ollys place will cost you £100 and we ask that each participant commits to raising a minimum of £2,500. We’ll provide you with a Molly Ollys running shirt and fundraising pack, and will help and support you as much as we can to raise these funds. Molly Ollys receives no government or committed funding and the Charity is entirely dependent for our income on individuals and organisations who are willing to help. We continue to receive an increasing number of requests for wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses or conditions, too many of whom are sadly palliative. Over the last two years we have seen an increase of approaching 25% each year.
The London Marathon is immensely popular with more and more applications each year. The public ballot is expected to be held in April with the results in July, but the likelihood of gaining a place through the ballot is low, so apply for a place now with Molly Ollys and you will know before the ballot opens whether you have a confirmed charity place. We know that raising funds can feel uncomfortable but the London Marathon is such an iconic event that family, friends and colleagues are very likely to be supportive of you taking on this challenge. We will support you to help achieve your pledge.
Apply here for one of our 2026 London Marathon places! We do ask that the entry fee of £100 is paid at the same time as you submit your application form. We will let you know if you have been successful as quickly as possible and will refund your entry fee if not. If you have any queries, please contact us
Please join us and be a Molly Olly Hero, and make a difference for these seriously ill children!
