Congratulations to our #TeamRaystede runners for completing this year's London Marathon MyWay!

Please click here to register your interest in the 2026 event, or see our other running events here.

This is your chance to be part of the world-famous London Marathon event from the comfort of your own hometown.

You can choose to run, walk, cycle, rollerblade, or use whatever method you like! With 24 hours to do the full marathon distance, you can take as long as you need to finish it. You can stop and start or complete it all in one go - it's up to you.

Whether you walk, run, or break it down into stages, you’re in control on marathon day!


Once you’ve completed your marathon, you’ll receive an official finishers’ medal from the TCS Virtual London Marathon and a New Balance t-shirt.

The 2025 event has now passed, but you can register your interest to take part in 2026.
