I already have my own placeThe Virgin Money London Marathon is back for 2021 and for the first time ever, it'll be an autumn marathon. Whether this is your first marathon or you're a veteran, get your place on the starting line with Team Scope.
You'll start the iconic 26.2 miles in Greenwich Park accompanied by 40,000 other runners. Along the route, you'll run past the Cutty Sark, over the world famous Tower Bridge and through the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. The streets will be lined by hundreds of thousands of spectators as you run towards the Mall for a real hero's welcome in front of Buckingham Palace.
The London Marathon welcomes the use of standard day chairs/wheelchairs and race runners in the mass participation event.
Free places for guides/support runners are issued for visually impaired runners. Guides/support runners will receive a finisher's medal, t-shirt and recovery bag when they cross the finish line.
All participants must complete the event by the official cut-off time which is currently 19:00. If you would like to request a waiver of the cut-off time for medal purposes, you can submit a request to the London Marathon.
If the London Marathon is unable to go ahead in October and we've already confirmed your place on #TeamScope, we will ensure your place is rolled over to a future year.
We have a very limited number of places remaining so please tell us why you want to run with Scope and how you plan to raise the £2,000 minimum sponsorship. The more detail the better! We'll then be in touch to discuss your application.

£450 could cover the cost of 50 phone calls to the Scope helpline, providing free, independent and impartial advice and support on issues that matter to disabled people and their families.
£1,000 could support a disabled person through one of our employment programmes to gain the confidence and skills needed to find work.
£2,059 could cover the cost of running Sleep Right for one month, supporting disabled children get the sleep they need.
Caller to the Scope helplineI can honestly say that I don’t think I could have coped had it not been for the helpline. They have given me so much time and support through all my difficulties and battles.
