Haig is delighted to offer charity places for the most popular marathon on the planet - Sunday 26th April 2026

If you’re successful in the ballot (announced by July 2025), we’d love you to join #teamHaig to help raise awareness of our work providing over 1500 homes to veterans and their families across the UK. Please contact us at: [email protected] to arrange your running pack.

With more than 1 million ballot entries this year, you can double your chance of taking part next April by registering for one of our #teamHaig London Marathon places.

We support our runners with:

  • A Haig branded running vest to proudly wear during training and on the day
  • 12 weeks training guidance from our professional running coach, Joe Murphy at RPB Training
    Dedicated whatsapp group with our #teamHaig running squad for moral support
    Fundraising support to help you smash your target
  • Invitation to our #teamHaig training session on Sunday 21st September 2025
  • The noisiest cheer squad on the day
    Access to our exclusive post-marathon reception at Wellington Barracks, right by the finish
  • Your name added to our online #teamHaig ‘Hall of Fame’

To ensure we maximise the funds and awareness from our limited London Marathon places, we operate an application process to learn about your motivations to run for Haig, and your fundraising plans.

We hope to offer the places to a broad range of our supporter community, but as it is a costly event for Haig to participate in, we respectfully encourage you to really consider your commitment to meeting our fundraising target before applying. If you are offered a place with Team Haig, we ask kindly ask you to commit to:

Initial registration fee to confirm your place: £150

Fundraising Target: £2500 (excluding gift aid)

 

Our friendly fundraising team will support you every step of the way.

Please register below before Wednesday 16th July. We will announce our places soon after.
