Participant guide
In the lead-up to Event Day, we’ll email your Participant Guide
It includes everything you need to know about getting to the Start Line – and more!
In the meantime, here’s what you need to know.
Ensure your details are up to date
Your Event Pack contains your running number and kitbag.
If you live in the UK, we will send it to the address saved in your Let’s Do This account, so keep it up to date.
If you live outside of the UK, you will have to collect your Event Pack from Marathon House (190 Great Dover Street, London, SE1 4YB) or on Event Day in Green Park.
Get to know what is available to you on Event Day
At our events we offer a Sensory Calm Space, for anyone who wants to take a moment away from the crowds, and a Multi Faith Prayer Space that is open to all.
If your period falls on Event Day, you can find tampons and pads at the info points and drink stations.
If you have a bladder or bowel condition, a Just Can’t Wait Toilet Card explains you have a medical condition and need urgent access to a toilet. You can download the card, issued by the Bladder and Bowel Community, for free. From that page, you can also purchase a plastic card. There are also bladder pads at the info points and drink stations.
If you are visually impaired, or your disability or medical condition means you need a support runner, you can apply for a free place for them. Please email us outlining your request and the reasons for it.
If you would like a Support Runner, The Richard Whitehead Supported Runners Project in partnership with Nissan can pair you with someone for Event Day. You can register your interest on their site.

Set up your fundraising page
You can sign up to Enthuse, our official fundraising platform. If you don’t have a charity place you can still fundraise for charity!
Plan your journey to the Start Line
Where possible, we recommend travelling to Green Park on foot, by bicycle, or by public transport. A free bike park is available on a first-come-first-served basis. To plan your journey to and from Green Park, please use TfL's journey planner.
Keep your eye out for the Participant Guide closer to Event Day
