Make history with Lily at the Saturday London Marathon 2027

For the first time ever, the iconic London Marathon is breaking tradition. In 2027, the streets of London will come alive for a historic, one-off Saturday race ahead of the traditional Sunday event. Yes – two London Marathons over two days, with an incredible 100,000 runners making history!

This is your chance to be part of an unprecedented event.

But this isn’t just about making history on the streets of London – it’s about changing the future for everyone affected by mitochondrial disease.

By running as part of Team Lily, every single step you take on that special Saturday will help The Lily Foundation fight mitochondrial disease, funding life-changing research and supporting families who need it most.

Why this is a once-in-a-lifetime race:

• The ultimate weekend: Race on Saturday, celebrate all night and actually enjoy a full Sunday of recovery without worrying about the Monday morning alarm!
• An unrivalled atmosphere: London on a Saturday is a different beast. Expect bigger crowds, louder cheers and a party atmosphere from your first step to your last.
• The chance to make history: This is a true collector’s item of a marathon. You’ll earn a medal that marks a unique moment in running history.

Why run for The Lily Foundation?

Mitochondrial disease is a cruel, progressive genetic condition that robs the body’s cells of energy. There is currently no cure, but you can help to change that.

When you join Team Lily, you’re not just getting a charity place. You’re getting a dedicated support squad. We’ll be with you every step of the way with:

• A custom Team Lily running vest.
• Expert training tips and fundraising support to help you smash your goals.
• The loudest, most passionate cheer stations along the route to carry you to the finish line.
• A heroic post-race reception to celebrate your achievement.

Secure your place in history

Spaces at this historic Saturday showdown are strictly limited, and demand will be higher than ever before. Apply now and be part of the history. Be the hope for families fighting mitochondrial disease.
