Marathons and sponsored events

The 2025 London Marathon is scheduled to take place on Sunday 27th April 2025, and we want you to run for us!

How do I get a place in the 2025 London Marathon?

1. Apply for one of our two Charity places…

We only have one place in the 2025 London Marathon, so we have to be selective in how we allocate this place. To be considered, please contact Events stating your motivation, how you plan to raise at least £1,500 and your desired finishing time.

2. Get your own place…

We’d love to build an EIA team for the 2025 event. For this we are entirely reliant on our loyal supporters to obtain their own places (in which case there would be no minimum amount to raise for EIA of course, it would be entirely your choice).

So, if you are one of the lucky ones to have received a London Marathon place through the ballot, through your running club, or have already run a full marathon in a fast time and qualified for a Good For Age place, we would love to hear from you too! The ballot for the 2025 TCS London Marathon has now closed, and results will be announced in July.

Good luck to everyone who entered!

Swim or trek for us

If running is not your thing, organise your own trek like Nico who took on the Gobi March. Design your own challenge through your own sports club or tour operator… or browse over 40 treks and 30 cycling challenges in the UK or across four continents on the Discover Adventure website.

Corporate teams can support EIA too

Why not organise a team challenge with colleagues? From one day challenges to week long trips, explore the fundraising and team building events Discover Adventure can offer your organisation. Simply select EIA on their website when registering your team.

Once you have registered and chosen your challenge, we’d love to hear about your plans and fundraising target, so please fill out our contact form (selecting ‘events and sponsored challenges’).
