    TCS LONDON MARATHON 2025

    Sunday 27 April, 2025
    Registrations for the 2025 Born Free Run Wild Squad are now closed. 

    Good luck to the 2025 Run Wild team as they raise funds and awareness for a fairer future for wildlife!

    Missing out on a ballot or charity place in the TCS London Marathon can be disappointing – but your journey does not have to end here…

    Join our Virtual Team

    Sign up for the TCS London Marathon MyWay and join our Virtual Run Wild team for a chance to secure a spot in the live event if a runner drops out!

    By completing the 26.2 miles your way—whether it’s on trails, streets, or your favourite route—you’ll not only earn a TCS London Marathon finisher medal and New Balance T-shirt but also stay ready as part of our priority waitlist.

    Last year, four of our virtual team members seamlessly joined the in-person event, as they were already training and fundraising.

    The £30 registration fee has no minimum fundraising target—just raise what you can to support Born Free’s vital work for wild animals. Every pound helps rescue animals, protect their habitats, and make a real difference.

    Sign up to TCS London Marathon MyWay. Select Born Free as your chosen charity when registering to be added to our priority waitlist.
