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.

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.

Date: Sunday, 26th April 2026
Location: London
Event Distance: 26.2 miles
Fundraising target: £2,500
Registration fee: £75

Please note: Applying to run for us does not guarantee your place. After we have reviewed all the applications, we will contact everyone who has applied. If you are unsuccessful, we will try and find other opportunities for you to get involved in a running fundraiser for SARSAS, or prioritise your application for 2027.

If you have any questions about the application process or how we will choose the runners, email our fundraising team on fundraising@sarsas.org.uk

Making Waves: building confidence and connection on the water

Earlier this year, we partnered with All-Aboard Watersports – a charity that helps people access watersports in the heart of Bristol Harbour. Together, we ran a weekly group for eight survivors currently waiting for support with SARSAS.
