London Marathon 2027 

We're pleased we now have two runners for the 2027 event - Leanne Oughton and Zain Akhter. We'll be adding more details about our runners and how you can support them to this page.

The London Marathon is a great opportunity for runners to join a major event and for charities to raise funds through their efforts. We are pleased we won two places in the charity ballot for the event in 2026 through to 2029. The 2027 TCS London Marathon will take place across two days - Saturday, 24 and Sunday, 25 April 2027 - giving more people than ever the opportunity to take part. Our two places are in the Sunday event. 

Our runners in the 2026 race, George Kelleher and Conal McLean, raised over £5,000. Our runners learned a lot from the experience as did we - to help make even more of a success next year. 
​Words from our 2026 runners
“I’m incredibly proud to have run the London Marathon and immensely grateful to Reading Family Aid for giving me the opportunity to represent them,” said Conal McLean.

George Kelleher: “…there was wind against my back the entire way knowing what I was doing wasn’t just for me, but for the people of my hometown as well. I hope I made you all proud.”

​For more about their experience of the day see this blog.
