I DON'T HAVE A PLACE AND WANT TO RUN FOR A CHARITY WHO AREN'T LISTED AS A PARTNER, CAN I DO THIS?
No, if a charity has not partnered with us for LLHM 2025 then they do not have places that they can offer and you cannot run for them if you don't have a ballot place. You can find our charity cause page here.
CAN WHEELCHAIR USERS, VISUALLY IMPAIRED RUNNERS AND PARTICIPANTS WITH DISABILITIES TAKE PART?
Absolutely, we are delighted to welcome wheelchair users, visually impaired runners, and participants with disabilities to LLHM 2025. If you have any questions about accessibility please don't hesitate to contact our team at [email protected] or call us on 0207 398 3422.

HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO TAKE PART IN THE LLHM?

CHARITY PLACES
WHAT IS A CHARITY PLACE RUNNER?
Charity place runners are those who sign up to run for a charity and agree to raise a minimum sponsorship pledge. Charities buy places in LLHM and then recruit people to raise money for their cause - in return runners gain entry into the event using one of these charity places.
If you have a charity place and are unsure of the terms of conditions it is best to contact your charity directly, as every charity manages and administers their places differently. LLHM cannot make any decisions about a charity place.
I TOLD A CHARITY I HAVE AN 'OWN PLACE' OR 'BALLOT PLACE' - WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
This means that you entered the ballot and were successful in getting a place and would like to use this to raise money for them. If you did not enter the ballot, or were unsuccessful in the ballot then you do not have an 'own place' or 'ballot place' and the only way to take part will be by using one of the charity places that our partners have purchased in the event.
It is very important that you do not tell a charity that you have your own place if you do not, otherwise they will think you already have a place in the event and will not allocate one to you, meaning you will not be able to take part.
HOW DO I APPLY TO BE A CHARITY PARTNER?
If you are interested in becoming a charity partner please visit our webpage here. LLHM 2025 charity partner applications have now closed, but our charity team would love to hear from you about partnering for future events.
WHEN WILL CHARITY RUNNERS RECEIVE CONFIRMATION OF THEIR PLACE IN LLHM 2025?
Once charity runners have successfully signed up for the event with their charity, their charities will send them an email via [email protected] with a link to complete their registration. These emails will start to be sent out when our registration platform opens in mid-October. Please be aware that charities send out these emails in batches, so please don’t worry if you don’t receive this email immediately. If you haven't heard anything from your charity by the end of October, please get in touch with them directly.
CAN CHARITY RUNNERS ORDER A LLHM 2025 TRAINING TOP?
Charity runners will be able to purchase an exclusive LLHM 2025 training top when our registration platform opens in October. They should receive an email from their charities via [email protected] with a link to complete their registration. During this process, runners will have the opportunity to purchase a LLHM 2025 training top, or they can do so later through their runner dashboard.
Please note that training tops typically take up to 6 weeks for delivery.
CHARITY RUNNER REGISTRATION
I HAVE ALREADY SIGNED UP WITH MY CHARITY. WHY DO I NEED TO REGISTER AGAIN?
There are two stages to registering as a charity runner for LLHM 2025.
Firstly, you sign up with your charity.
Once you have signed up with your charity, they will send you a link to complete your official LLHM registration. Look out for an email from [email protected]
The official registration requires you to pay £3.75 to cover the postage of your LLHM race pack, which you receive 2 weeks before race day.
Once you have registered, you will start receiving official communication from the LLHM Team.
WHEN IS THE DEADLINE TO COMPLETE MY REGISTRATION?
All runners must have completed their registration on the charity runner registration system before 12 noon, on Wednesday 12th February 2025.
Your charity may ask you to complete your registration earlier than this date so they can support you in advance of race day.
IF I MISS THE DEADLINE, CAN I STILL TAKE PART?
No, once the charity runner registration system is closed we cannot accept further entries under any circumstances. It is the responsibility of each runner and their charity to ensure that your registrations completed before 12 noon, on Wednesday 12th February 2025
LLHM 2025 BALLOT
HOW DO I ENTER THE 2025 BALLOT?
The LLHM 2025 ballot has now closed. If you didn't enter the only way to get a place is with one of our fantastic charity partners
WHAT IS A BALLOT PLACE RUNNER?
Those who enter the ballot are successful in gaining a place. Some charities call these 'Own Place Runners'. The place belongs to the individual who entered the ballot and was successful. This is different from a charity place runner, who's place has been purchased by a charity and belongs to that organisation. You can still use your ballot place to raise money for the charity of your choice.
I HAVE SECURED BOTH A CHARITY PLACE AND A BALLOT PLACE, WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Congratulations on securing both a ballot place and a charity place for LLHM 2025! By now, you should have paid and registered for your ballot place, and you're on our system. The best course of action is to run under your ballot place while also fundraising for your chosen charity.
This allows the charity to offer your charity place to someone else, and you can still support them with your ballot fundraising. This scenario is ideal for the charity, as it opens up an additional space for another runner while you continue to raise funds on their behalf. This could lead to increased fundraising and greater success for the charity overall.
Please be sure to double-check that you are registered with a ballot place, and then inform your charity that you no longer need your charity place.
I MISSED THE BALLOT ENTRY DEADLINE, CAN I STILL TAKE PART?
Yes, if you missed the entry deadline then the only way to take part is with one of our fantastic charity partners.
INTERNATIONAL ENTRY
CAN I ENTER AS AN INTERNATIONAL RUNNER?
There are multiple ways to enter if you are an international runner:
- If you gained a place in our LLHM 2025 ballot, you can take part with a ballot place. Please note, the ballot has now closed for LLHM 2025.
- You can sign up through our international tour operator, Marathon Tours & Travel, and purchase a package included guaranteed entry and accommodation.
- You can sign up through an international charity and support a special cause. All international charity entries are managed through our partner, realbuzz.
- You can sign up through one of our official UK charity partners.
Please visit our International Entry page for more information.
If you are an international charity looking to purchase places through realbuzz, you can find out more here.
