For one-time only, the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon is taking place across two days on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 April.
We only have three charity places available for the Saturday of The Double, so demand is expected to be high. To give yourself the best chance of securing a place, please include plenty of detail in your application about why you’d like to run for Action for Family Carers and how you plan to achieve the £2,500 fundraising pledge.
If your application is successful, you’ll need to pay the £100 registration fee within two weeks of receiving your offer to confirm your place.

Use your ballot place for the London Marathon
If you were lucky enough to get your own place through the TCS London Marathon public ballot and would like to raise money for Action for Family Carers, email fundraising@affc.org.uk. There’s no fundraising pledge, just raise as much as you can!
As a small charity, we simply couldn’t do what we do without people like you. Our London Marathon runners play a hugely important role in raising vital funds to help us support more Carers in Essex.
