How to get a place in the 2027 Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 10k

The next edition of the UK’s largest 10k will take place on Sunday 21st February 2027. 

We will once again have space for 26,000 incredible people to take on this special challenge, but the event usually reaches capacity well in advance. We’d love for you to join us and experience this special day, so a few of the most popular questions are answered below.

HOW DO I SECURE A PLACE TO TAKE PART?

After over 70% of the available places were snapped up during the last window, Public Entries are currently paused and will re-open in November, but you can enter today as an Exclusive Fundraiser.

Want first dibs on the remaining public places? Sign up for exclusive access to our pre-sale in early November, before places go on general sale.

CAN I TAKE PART FOR CANCER RESEARCH UK?

Absolutely! There are two ways to get involved:

A limited number of Exclusive Fundraiser entries are available for those who commit to raising £175 for Cancer Research UK. As a thank you, you’ll get a discounted entry, a special bonus medal, and access to a VIP marquee on event day.

Everyone who signs up for the 2027 event, regardless of entry type, will automatically receive a Winter Run profile, where fundraising is recorded and rewards can be unlocked. Fundraising is optional but everything you do raise will be donated to Cancer Research UK. 

ARE THERE ANY OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED?

We’re always on the lookout for incredible volunteers who, without their help, the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run would not be possible.

Check out our volunteer page to sign up and explore our exciting roles. Whether you’re a High-Fiving Husky, a Dancing Penguin, or a Celebratory Polar Bear, there’s a role for everyone!
