How to get a Place in the 2026 London Winter Run 10k

Following a sell out 10th anniversary edition in 2025, we’re pleased to confirm that the next edition of the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run will take place on Sunday 15 February 2026.

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 GET A PLACE TO TAKE PART?

After record demand with over 18,000 already signed up to take part next year, entries are taking a short break while we assess capacities. You can join the advanced access list to secure early access to the remaining places when these are released.

 

CAN I TAKE PART FOR CANCER RESEARCH UK?

Absolutely! There are two ways to get involved:

A limited number of Exclusive Fundraiser places 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.

Alternatively, everyone who signs up for the 2026 event will automatically be created a Winter Run profile. Fundraising is optional, but if you choose to, you can unlock incredible rewards along the way.

 

ARE THERE ANY OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED?

We’re always on the lookout for incredible volunteers who help make the Cancer Research UK London Winter Run 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 at the Finish Area, there’s a role for everyone!
