London Marathon Runners, Don’t Panic: How to Defer Your 2024 Entry
Not quite ready or hit by injury? Don’t worry. The London Marathon has got your back with a deferral option. If you can’t run this year, you can postpone your entry until 2025 and keep your dream alive.
Step-by-Step: How to Defer Your Marathon Spot
- Hit the TCS London Marathon Website: Log in to your personal participant dashboard. You should have received login details by email in February.
- Notify the Organisers: Find the option to withdraw from the 2024 race. Follow the prompts to officially pull out.
- Pick Deferral: Select the option to defer your entry to next year’s marathon, securing your place in 2025.
- Wait for Confirmation: The organisers will email you with the details on your deferred entry and any next steps.
Key Info You Can’t Miss
- Deadline Alert: You must withdraw by 11.59pm on Saturday, April 20, the day before the marathon.
- Deferral Fees: Deferring is allowed, but you’ll have to pay the 2025 entry fee to confirm your place.
- No Charity Deferrals: If you’re running for a charity, you can’t defer. Instead, reach out directly to your charity to explore your options.
So, if life throws a curveball this year, don’t miss out. Defer and come back stronger for the iconic London Marathon next year!
