Marathon Swims 2024

Marathon Swims returns to the London Aquatics Centre in 2024 (Saturday 9 November 2024).

​

ENTER London's marathon of swimming in 2024. Challenges include the Marathon 10k, Half Marathon 5k, 1k Challenge and Team 10k.

​

Launch dates:

All categories now open for registration.

​

Charity Places:

Charity places are for Alzheimer's Society. The fundraising request for each category is £300 for Marathon 10k and Team 10k, £200 for Half Marathon 5k and £150 for 1k Challenge.

​

Ballot:

The Marathon 10k is heavily oversubscribed each year, so we operate a ballot as the fairest way of distributing the places. You can skip the ballot by claiming a charity or volunteer place.

​

Entries to the ballot are free of charge. Payment details are taken at point of registration to the ballot. Only successful ballot entrants will have a payment taken. The ballot opens Thursday 29 February and runs until 12pm 2 April 2024. All successful entrants will be notified by 4 April. All ballot entries have an equal chance. It does not matter when you enter the ballot, as long as you do so before the closing date of 4 April. We recommend you enter the ballot now, just so you don't forget to later on.

​

Some successful entries on the ballot may have their payment fail. If this occurs the entrant will be given 3 days to pay the amount owed to claim their place. If the entry fee remains unpaid after 3 days, then the place will be cancelled and offered on a first come, first served basis to all unsuccessful ballot entrants.
