Palace for Life announced as official Charity Partner of 2026 London Landmarks Half Marathon
We’re thrilled to be an official charity partner of the 2026 London Landmarks Half Marathon on the 12th April 2026, and we will have charity places available.
The London Landmarks Half Marathon is one of the capital’s most iconic running events, guiding runners through a 13.1 mile sightseeing tour from Big Ben to St Paul’s, The Shard to Tower Bridge. And on 12th April 2026, for the first time ever, you’ll be able to run it for Palace for Life.
The ballot will open on Tuesday 10th June and close on a week later on the 17th June. You can enter via the ballot here.
Already got ballot space and want to run for us? Just email our Fundraising team and we’ll get you set up.
If you’re unsuccessful in the ballot, you’ll still have a chance to take part via our charity spaces. More information on these will be available soon.
There are two ways you can run the London Landmarks Half for us.
ENTER THE PUBLIC BALLOT
If you’re successful in the ballot and would like to run for us, please email our fundraising team here and they will be able to support you.
The public ballot opens on Tuesday 10th June and will remain open for 7 days.
It’s free to enter and you’ll only pay the entry fee if you’re successful in securing a place. If you’re unsuccessful first time around, a ‘second chance’ ballot will be held in July.
The entry fee is £67.50 + a £2.49 booking fee.
Once open, you can enter the ballot via the official website here.
To find out more on how the ballot works, read the LLHM ballot guide here.
APPLY FOR A PALACE FOR LIFE CHARITY PLACE
If you miss out on a ballot place, our charity places will be available over the next few weeks. Keep an eye on our social media channels for updates.
Our charity places come with:
- A £25–£35 registration fee
- A £350 fundraising target
- A Palace for Life running top
- Ongoing fundraising support and resources from our expert fundraising team
Whether you secure a place through the ballot and choose to fundraise for us, or run with one of our official charity places, you’ll be supporting our life-changing work in South London.
Last year, we delivered over 65 hours of free community football every week, but it’s about so much more than the game. Your fundraising could help a young person find their first job, support someone struggling with their mental health, or provide kids in South London schools support to help prepare them for their next stage in life.
