The route starts in Greenwich and passes iconic landmarks including Canary Wharf, Tower Bridge and Buckingham Palace, until you finish like a champion on The Mall.
Running the London Marathon is an epic achievement. Whether you're a beginner or a marathon regular, we'll help you cross that finish line feeling incredible.
From training sessions to nutrition tips, we offer all the support you need before the marathon. On the day, we'll be there to cheer you on with your guests, and professional photographers will capture all your special moments.
You must be at least 18 years old to run the London Marathon.

One of our previous Shelter marathon runners said:
The support from the Shelter team was amazing. Thank you very much for the opportunity to run a great marathon for such a worthwhile cause.
Fundraising for Shelter
We recommend you start by setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving and asking friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you. You can also organise an event such as a bake sale or quiz. See our fundraising resources for more inspiration.
Please make sure you’re confident in reaching the fundraising pledge before you sign up. We invest in places at charity events and need to raise as much as possible for our fight against housing injustice.
Our friendly Events team are on hand to support you with your fundraising. If you have a question or want to talk through ideas, email running@shelter.org.uk or call us on 0344 515 1190.
