2027 Double TCS London Marathon
2027 Double TCS London Marathon – Coming Soon!
The TCS London Marathon returns across an exciting two-day format on Saturday 24th April 2027 and Sunday 25th April 2027, bringing a fresh new dimension to this iconic Abbott World Marathon Majors event. The streets of London will once again come alive as 100,000 participants take on the course past the city’s most famous landmarks, finishing spectacularly on The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace.
The first London Marathon was held on March 29, 1981 and more than 20,000 applied to run. From this pool only 6,747 were accepted and 6,255 crossed the finish line on Constitution Hill. Marathon Tours & Travel established a relationship with the London Marathon team and hosted our first trip in 1982. Entering our 43rd year supporting London as a global business we are pleased that Marathon Tours & Travel is an official Australian Tour operator for the TCS London Marathon.
Our goal is to be your running concierge and provide packages, which offer features that will make your trip a memorable one. Our hotel options, welcome reception, transfer to the TCS London Marathon Expo, pre-race pasta dinner, transfer to the race start and post-race celebration have been carefully refined based on more than 40 years of client feedback. Our package experience affords you more time to explore the magical city of London and keeps your focus on the run. The hotels we select are within a short walking distance from the finish, as well as iconic places such as Hyde Park, St. James Park, Buckingham Palace, and the Houses of Parliament.
