TCS London Marathon 2026
The iconic event that needs no introduction. Raising tens of millions pounds for charity every year, and seeing tens of thousands of runners cross the finish line, The London Marathon is one of the most iconic and coveted events in the running calendar.
We’re building a team to join the SARSAS running team to help raise vital funds for people whose lives have been affected by sexual violence.
#TeamSARSAS is getting ready to take part in the TCS London Marathon 2026!
SARSAS is thrilled to have two places in the event for 2026. The deadline to apply to run for #TeamSARSAS was Friday 11th July and we received lots of applications from people keen to make a profound difference for survivors. We’re looking forward to thoroughly reading all the applications and selecting our team.
If you’re interested in a place for 2027, let us know! Contact fundraising@sarsas.org.uk for more info.
