Ballot Open for London Landmarks Half Marathon

The highly anticipated public ballot for the 2026 London Landmarks Half Marathon (LLHM) opens today (June 10).

It’s your chance to secure a coveted place, joining 20,000 people as they take to the streets on April 12 ,2026, to take in the best landmarks across the capital and raise money for charity.

Simply click www.llhm.co.uk/ballot to enter before 12 noon on 17 June when the ballot closes. Lucky runners will be advised by email at the beginning of July.

Starting by Downing Street, the 13.1mile course takes runners through historic Westminster, past Big Ben then along the Thames Embankment towards the City to take in ‘the grand, the quirky and the hidden’ of London.

The LLHM is a SheRACES accredited event as event organisers work hard to remove barriers that prevent women from participating, and with individual waves for wheelchair participants and visually impaired runners and their guides, this is truly an event for all.

“Year after year I never imagine the LLHM can get better, but it always does. 2025 was our biggest event yet and joy filled my heart to see the sea of runners take to the streets, each taking part for a very personal reason and raising a phenomenal £16million for many worthy causes,” said Lia Fyles, London Landmarks Half Marathon Race Director.

“Running has the ability to bring people together to positively benefit not only individuals but whole communities. I’m proud that LLHM has become a shining beacon of what makes running so special.”

The LLHM 2026 ballot is free to enter, with winners drawn at random so everyone that enters has an equal chance of securing a place.  Lucky participants will then need to pay for their place to secure their entry into LLHM 2026, and profits will go to Tommy’s who organise the London Landmarks Half Marathon to help fund research into miscarriage, premature birth and stillbirth. Entry is priced at £69.99 including booking fee for the successful applicants.

If you are unsuccessful in the ballot, remember charity places are available so you can still join us on what is set to be an unforgettable edition of the London Landmarks Half.
