London Marathon terms & conditions

Please ensure you read the T&Cs carefully.

Terms and conditions

  1. An application is not a guarantee of a place. Your application will be scored and runners offered a place as soon as feasible – regardless of outcome. Your place is not officially confirmed until your £100 registration fee is paid.
  2. Successful applicants will be required to pay a registration fee of £100.00 to secure their place (details will be provided when the places are allocated).
  3. You are encouraged to also enter the official Ballot, and let us know as soon as possible if you are successful in receiving a Ballot place.
  4. You must be at least 18 years of age on the date of your application.
  5. You will be sent information to formally register with London Marathon on their Registration Console using a Dogstar Foundation place. You commit to completing this information in a timely manner and by any deadlines set by the charity/London Marathon or risk forfeiting your place.
  6. You must inform Dogstar Foundation, as soon as possible, of any reason you are unable to take part in the TCS London Marathon.
  7. By agreeing to these terms and conditions, if you are successful in receiving a place, you are committing to raising a minimum of £2,000 (not including Gift Aid or Match-funding). To show your commitment, we recommend that you register with our recommended online fundraising platform as soon as we send you the information to do so.
  8. We will use your contact information to stay in touch about your application and notify you if you’re successful in securing a place. We may need to get in touch to ask for some more information before we can make a decision.

If you are given one of our Charity places, we will use your information to stay in touch about the event, provide fundraising information, and important ‘need to knows’. This is separate to our marketing opt-in process and a condition of entry to the event.

  1. Dogstar Foundation reserves the right to remove your name from the Marathon Registration Console if you do not adhere to our terms and conditions, do not respond to communications, or do not start your fundraising in a timely manner. We will communicate with you before we revoke your place.
  2. You are responsible for reading and agreeing to information provided by London Marathon, particularly their terms and conditions around collection of your running number, event safety and liability.
