The London Marathon is a truly amazing event and offers everything you could want from a race – a high quality course, enthusiastic charity runners and an inspiring and interesting route.

How to get involved

We have a limited number of charity places available, so please do fill out our application form and tell us why you want to run on behalf of Battersea. By taking part in the London Marathon you'll be helping lost, abandoned and unwanted dogs and cats find the loving, new homes they need.

Apply for a charity place

The non-refundable registration fee for a Battersea charity place is £100 and we ask that you pledge to raise a minimum of £2,000.
