Please read our Terms & Conditions before applying. 
Applications close on Thursday 6 August 2026 and applicants will be notified of the outcome by Monday 17 August 2026.
 
London Marathon places cost the charity a premium which is why we set a minimum fundraising pledge - this contributes towards the cost of your race place and allows us to continue our vital conservation work across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. Please only apply if you are confident in reaching this target.
