Terms & Conditions

I am applying for a place in the 2026 TCS London Marathon (“The Event”) with World Cancer Research Fund (“The Charity”) 

I accept and agree to the following and to all the 'The Charity' Participant Conditions of entry below. 

• I understand that charity places in ‘The Event’ are limited, subject to availability, and that this application for a place is subject to written acceptance by ‘The Charity’ 

• If I am accepted for a guaranteed place, I pledge to raise as much sponsorship as possible, reaching the minimum target (not including the registration fee which will be paid upon acceptance for a place) 

• I agree that prior to ‘The Event’ my registration fee is only refundable if for any reason 'The Charity' does not offer me a guaranteed place in ‘The Event’. My registration fee is not refundable if I am unable to run through injury or for any other reason 

• I will only collect sponsorship once ‘The Charity’ have accepted my application. I will encourage sponsors to make payments with Gift Aid where possible 

• Should I for any reason decide not to, or be unable to, either take up or use a place allocated to me, I will inform ‘The Charity’ immediately and return all materials to ‘The Charity’ 

• If I do not take part in ‘The Event’, I understand that ‘The Charity’ cannot accommodate return of the sponsorship monies, but ‘The Charity’ can rollover my (or “any sponsorship monies collected”) sponsorship monies, excluding registration fee, to a future event with ‘The Charity’. 

• I am currently sufficiently well and fit to participate in ‘The Event’ 

• I will adhere to any guidance relating to health, age, sponsorship or other matters issued by the race organisers or ‘The Charity’ 

• I agree that neither 'The Charity' nor the organiser shall be liable for my death, personal injury or any loss or damage sustained by me as a consequence of my participation in ‘The Event’ except to the extent that the same is caused by negligence 

• I understand that ‘The Charity’ may use a photographer to film and capture images at ‘The Event’. I consent to ‘The Charity’, and all its authorised third parties, using any or all of this material for fundraising and promotional purposes. If I would not like my images to be used, I will email events@wcrf.org to advise them of this 

• If ‘The Event’ is cancelled by the organiser due to circumstances beyond our control (including but not limited to public health concerns such as Covid-19), all participants will be entitled to either a full refund or entry to a future event, with any money already raised being carried over to that future event
