What is a ballot place runner?
A ballot place runner is someone who has entered the ballot and is 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.
How much do I have to pay if I'm successful in the ballot?
A LLHM 2026 ballot place costs £67.50 + £2.49 booking fee. Any profit from your entry fee will go to pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's, who organise the London Landmarks Half Marathon.
Tommy’s exists to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe – for everyone.
When was the ballot announced?
The results of the main ballot were announced on Wednesday 2nd July and the results of the second chance ballot were announced on Monday 14th July.
What do I have to do if I'm successful in the Main Ballot?
If you were successful in the main ballot you were required to complete registration and pay for your place by Thursday 10th July at 10am. If you missed this deadline, you will have lost your ballot place and be ineligible for the second-chance ballot, with the only way to take part being through one of our charity partners. We cannot make exceptions under any circumstances.
What do I do if I'm unsuccessful in the Main Ballot?
If you were unsuccessful in the main ballot you will automatically be entered into the second chance ballot for free. There are over 500 official LLHM 2026 charity partners who have places in the event who would be so grateful for your support.
Tommy's have the largest charity team and would love you to welcome you onboard. Tommy's are offering free entry onto their team with a fundraising pledge of £350. Your support would help fund lifesaving research into baby loss and provide pregnancy advice at a time of great need.
You can secure your free place with Team Tommy's now and if you are successful in the ballot you can cancel your charity place with them. It's win win!
Alternatively, we have over 500 charity partners with places in the event here .
What do I have to do if I'm successful in the Second Chance Ballot?
If you were successful in the second chance ballot you were required to complete registration and pay for your place by Monday 21 July at 12 noon. If you missed this deadline you will have lost your ballot place and the only way to now take part is with one of our charity partners. We cannot make any exceptions under any circumstances.
How does the second chance ballot work?
Following the announcement of the main ballot, all unsuccessful ballot applicants were automatically entered into a second chance ballot for free. This allowed us to re-allocate any unclaimed main ballot places to others. If you were successful in the second chance ballot you were required to confirm that you would like your place by paying for it by Monday 21 July at 12 noon. If you were unsuccessful or missed the registration deadline, the only way to get a place in the event now is through one of our charity partners, listed here.
Can I enter the ballot multiple times?
No, entries are limited to one per person.
I share an email address, can we enter under the same email?
No, our system only allows for one registration per email. If more than one person has entered under the same email address, any duplicates will be deleted from the system.
Where can I find more information about the ballot?
For more information on the ballot, please visit our LLHM 2026 Ballot page.
I experienced a technical issue entering the ballot, what should I do?
Please be aware that we are unable to help with any entries after the ballot has closed.
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 2026 charity partner applications have now closed, but our charity team would love to hear from you about partnering for future events.

Tommy’s are a charity that exists to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and make pregnancy and birth safe – for everyone.
