2026 Insights - London Marathon Events

As event fundraisers, we all know how iconic the London Marathon is and how crucial it is for many charities in terms of generating income. Following on from the success of our sessions in 2024 and 2025, we are back this February with the London Marathon Events team, to chat all things Marathon and more!
Hear from teams across London Marathon Events as they discuss priorities, learnings, and opportunities across their events portfolio, with a particular focus on the London Marathon, and what this means for the future of participant and supporter engagement.

They’ll also host a Q&A session, where you can ask any burning questions! We will need to submit these in advance, so if you have any questions, please email [email protected] by Thursday 5 February 2026.
The team have kindly invited us back to Marathon House in London on Thursday 12 February 2026, however there are a limited number of spaces to attend in person. Places will be on a first come, first serve spaces, and will be restricted to one place per charity. The event will also be hosted online, with no attendance limitations for organisations.
