Eligible athletics clubs associated with British Athletics may be eligible for club guaranteed entries for the 2025 TCS London Marathon. Clubs will be notified on 2 December 2025.
The number of entries allocated is based on the number of first claim members over the age of 18 at the club who are registered with British Athletics.
For the 2025 TCS London Marathon, the club guaranteed entries will be allocated as follows:
- Clubs with fewer than 10 first-claim members no longer qualify for a guaranteed entry in the TCS London Marathon
- Clubs with between 10-39 affiliated members will be placed in a ballot that will allocate 228 entries, meaning that at least half the clubs will be allocated one entry each
- Clubs with between 40-189 members will be allocated one guaranteed entry each
- Clubs with more than 190 members will be allocated two guaranteed entries each
In summary, the allocation of places to clubs will be as follows:
| Number of first claim members | Number of entries |
| 0-9 | Zero |
| 10-39 | Ballot for 228 guaranteed entries (one per successful club) |
| 40-189 | 1 |
| 190+ | 2 |
Does my club qualify?
Your club must be associated with British Athletics through one of the below governing bodies with a minimum of 10 first-claim members:
- England Athletics
- Scottish Athletics
- Welsh Athletics
- Athletics Northern Ireland
How do secure my club’s places?
Please note, places will be allocated to all eligible clubs so your club will not need to apply for 2025 TCS London Marathon places.
Clubs will be emailed when registrations open with either their allocation of places, or for clubs with 10-39 affiliated members, their ballot result.
Club entries will be at the standard UK entry price of £69.99.
