London Marathon ballot 2027 entry fee, date and when you find out results
Runners eager to take part in the London race have a limited window to enter the ballot.
www.express.co.ukHere’s what’s known about the London Marathon ballot for 2027 based on recent coverage.
- The 2027 London Marathon ballot opened in late April 2026 and runs for about a week, with a closing deadline in early May 2026. Winners are announced in early July, with results published by the race organizers or media outlets.[2][3][5]
- There has been discussion of a potential two-day, two-site format for the 2027 event, which could affect capacity and how ballots are allocated (e.g., separate draws or combined entries) if approved. This is being explored by organizers and partners, but the decision is not finalized at the time of reporting.[4][7][2]
- Entry fees and exact dates can vary by year and format; current reports indicate standard ballot entries are via online application during the open window, with results delivered by early July. If a two-day format is approved, entrants might automatically be entered into both days’ ballots, though they could choose which day to race if selected.[3][5][2]
If you want, I can pull the latest updates from those sources and summarize any official statements from London Marathon Events for 2027, including the official deadline, entry fees, and the exact date when results are expected. I can also provide a quick tracker you can follow for ballot status and any changes to the format. Would you like me to do that?
