Hamelin London Marathon 2027 Own Place Terms & Conditions

Thank you for choosing to run the 2027 TCS London Marathon as part of #TeamHamelin.

By registering to run for Hamelin using your own London Marathon place, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.

 

1. About the event

The TCS London Marathon is organised by London Marathon Events Ltd, not Hamelin.

All participants must also agree to and comply with the Event Organiser's Terms & Conditions and any rules, deadlines and instructions issued by them.

Hamelin accepts no responsibility for the organisation, delivery or cancellation of the event.

 

2. Registering as an own place runner

You must already have secured your own place in the 2027 TCS London Marathon through an official entry route (such as the public ballot, Good for Age, Championship, Club or another recognised entry route).

You must be aged 18 or over on the date of the event.

By registering with Hamelin, you confirm that your place has been secured independently of the charity. Hamelin may request evidence of your place if required.

 

3. Fundraising target

There is no minimum fundraising target for own place runners.

However, by joining #TeamHamelin, we ask that you raise as much as you can to help support our work with autistic people and adults with learning disabilities.

We ask that you:

  • Set up an online fundraising page within two weeks of registering with Hamelin.
  • Begin actively fundraising as soon as possible.
  • Keep in touch with the Hamelin Fundraising Team and let us know how your fundraising is going where possible.

Please encourage your supporters to Gift Aid their donations wherever possible. Gift Aid allows Hamelin to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated by eligible UK taxpayers, at no additional cost to the donor.

 

4. Fundraising

We encourage runners to fundraise in safe, legal and ethical ways.

You agree to:

  • Comply with all relevant fundraising laws and guidance.
  • Represent Hamelin positively at all times.
  • Contact us if you are unsure whether a fundraising activity is appropriate.

Any sponsorship collected on behalf of Hamelin cannot be transferred to another charity.

 

5. Donations and payments

All money raised in connection with the TCS London Marathon for Hamelin is held on trust for the charity and should be paid to Hamelin no later than six weeks after the event (by 6 June 2027).

Donations can be made by:

  • An approved online fundraising platform (such as Enthuse or JustGiving).
  • Bank transfer using the details provided by Hamelin.
  • Card payment or cheque, where agreed with the Hamelin Fundraising Team.

If you withdraw from the event, any funds already raised will remain with Hamelin and cannot be refunded to donors.

You must make it clear to donors that all money raised is a donation to Hamelin and will not be returned if you withdraw from or are unable to complete the event.

Where possible, you should encourage supporters to donate through Hamelin's recommended online fundraising platform to help maximise Gift Aid and reduce administration.

If you collect any offline sponsorship, please provide the relevant sponsorship details to Hamelin as soon as possible after the event to allow Gift Aid to be claimed where eligible.

 

6. If your circumstances change

If you are no longer able to take part in the event, please let the Hamelin Fundraising Team know as soon as possible by emailing fundraising@hamelin.org.uk.

 

7. Event participation

You take part in the London Marathon entirely at your own risk.

You are responsible for ensuring you are medically fit to participate and for seeking medical advice if required.

You are responsible for collecting your race pack from the TCS London Marathon Running Show in the week before the race. Please see the race organiser's website for details.

You agree to follow all instructions issued by London Marathon Events Ltd before and during the event.

 

8. Running for Hamelin

As part of #TeamHamelin, we ask that you:

  • Wear the Hamelin running vest on race day where possible.
  • Conduct yourself respectfully.
  • Help promote Hamelin positively throughout your fundraising journey.

 

9. Photography and publicity

By taking part, you agree that Hamelin may use photographs, videos or stories you provide, or which are taken during the event, to promote our work across our website, social media, newsletters and other marketing materials.

If you would prefer not to be featured, please let us know.

 

10. Data protection

We will use your personal information to administer your participation and provide you with support before and after race day.

Your information will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

 

11. Changes

Hamelin reserves the right to amend these Terms & Conditions where necessary.

Any significant changes will be communicated to participants.

If you have any questions, please contact the Hamelin Fundraising Team before registering.
