The TCS London Marathon has announced that in 2027 there will be a special one-off, two-day event, taking place across Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th April 2027.
Whether you secured a charity place or got in through the ballot, we’d love you to join TeamDBHC and make every mile count. If you are interested in running for us with your ballot place, please get in touch by emailing uhdb.charityfundraising@nhs.net
Applications for our 2027 charity places have now closed and successful applicants have been informed.
Got a ballot place? Why not run for us
If you were lucky enough to secure a place through the public ballot, you have a unique opportunity to make your run even more meaningful by supporting our charity. When you join TeamDBHC, you’ll receive the same dedicated support and benefits as our charity place runners and become part of a team making a real difference.
You can choose to fundraise in a way that feels right for you, choosing to support an area that means something personally to you, whether that be a hospital, ward or department. By running for TeamDBHC, you’ll be supporting local NHS patients, visitors and over 14,000 staff across Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
There’s no minimum fundraising target for ballot runners - just raise what you can and enjoy the experience of being part of something special. If you are interested in running for us with your ballot place, please get in touch by emailing uhdb.charityfundraising@nhs.net
