This unique double event will allow a record 100,000 participants to take part, significantly increasing the number of runners compared to previous years. Organisers anticipate the expanded event will raise over £150m for good causes and generate a £400m social and economic benefit for the UK. Participants will be entered into a ballot for either the Saturday or Sunday race, with elite men's and women's races split across the two days. Hugh Brasher, CEO of London Marathon Events, described the 2027 event as a "once-in-a-generation one-time-only reimagining" of the marathon.
