TCS London Marathon
You can now apply for a place for the 2026 London Marathon with Saint Francis Hospice.
If you have applied for the ballot and you secure your own public ballot place, we'd love for you to join our #TeamSFH and help make a difference to the individuals who need our compassionate care. We offer an excellent stewardship programme which includes support with training and fundraising to help you achieve your goals.
Applying for the ballot?
Run the London Marathon like Alfie, and help people like his Dad, Alf.
Alfie was just 15 years old when his Dad, Alf, died in our care. Alf was so comfortable at the Hospice, he didn't want to leave, so Alfie and his Mum would visit regularly. The nurses even organised a party for the family after Alfie's parents got married a week before his Dad's death. The support the family received inspired a lifetime of support from Alfie, who raised over £23,000 at the London Marathon in 2023.
