If we offer you a charity place, you will have one month from the date of the place being offered to pay your registration fee and you will be required to sign to confirm that you have read Coram’s Terms and Conditions. Until payment is received and the Terms and Conditions are signed, your place is not secured and could be offered to other runners on the waiting list.
All successful applicants must pay a £100 registration fee (non-refundable) for their place and commit to fundraising a minimum of £2,000 excluding gift aid. Participants will receive a Coram running vest prior to the event.

Sponsorship, donations and payment terms
- You understand that Coram incurs costs for each charity place in the TCS London Marathon. We set our budgets and plan the work we do with children, young people and families on the funds received from our participants raising their sponsorship. For this reason, it is vital that you raise the funds that you have committed to when taking up your charity place with us.

- In extreme cases of failure to fundraise, one week before race day, the TCS London Marathon as well as Coram reserve the right to not allow you to run the Virgin London Marathon. Exclusion at this late stage of the race is possible and also means that your name will be on a list alerting other charities of your failure to fundraise, should you subsequently wish to run for another charity in the future.
- You agree that Gift Aid payments cannot count towards the fundraising pledge, and instead will be considered as over and above the pledged fundraising total.
- If the sum of £2,000 has not been paid 2 months after the event – the date of The London Marathon, you agree to pay the remainder from your own personal funds within one month of this date or in instalments to be agreed in writing with Coram. You understand that Coram reserves the right to request the payment of this sum within 2 months after the event.
