I've figured out HOW to enter the 2014 marathon (2013 is full) but I can't find any information on what it costs to enter, I would be doing it for a charity but I still need to know costs before I commit myself to something so huge. Please help?

    Are you a UK resident? There are different rules for international participants. If your international, the regular ballot is about 65 pound (somewhere around 100-110 US dollars). So I imagine it would be about the same for charity. You also might want to check with the specific charity you are running for, they might have different rules.
  • If you get a ballot place then it's usually about £65. If your running for a charity they ask that you can guarantee a certain amount of sponsor money. Most Charities ask for around £1500-£2000 sponsor money, but it can vary.

    That's great thanks for the help. Now all I need to do is train for it. Eek!
  • This year's was £65 for overseas residents, something like £39 for UK residents.
