London Marathon

If you have been lucky enough to get a place in the London Marathon 2026 through the public ballot, congratulations!

St Margaret’s Hospice would feel even luckier if you decide to run on our behalf, raising funds for hospice care across Somerset. We would love to join you on your journey in one of the world’s most iconic sporting events; we can support you with any fundraising you may like to undertake and will provide you with a St Margaret’s branded running vest to wear on the big day. We will join you in London to cheer you on, and you will have the opportunity to join a free post-race reception, courtesy of Hospice UK.

We appreciate there are many charities out there to choose from, but if you have a connection to our hospice, live in Somerset or just want to show your support, we would love to hear from you.

St Margaret’s Hospice touches the lives of 5,000 people each year by offering specialist inpatient care for those with complex needs, providing care in people’s own homes seven days a week, offering a 24/7 telephone advice line, and day hospice services, which are a lifeline for our patients and their carers. It is our ambition to reach more people in Somerset who need our support, and we rely on the generosity of the local community to make that happen.

We are no longer accepting applications for our charity places.
Thank you to everyone who registered their interest!
