The TCS London Marathon is one of the hardest entries to get and we sell out in about 2 weeks each year, so don't delay if you are wanting to run this epic marathon in 2025! Our entries are limited!

Since 2004, Dream Travel Canada has been offering guaranteed entry packages to some of the biggest and most prestigious events on the planet and we're proud to say that we are an official International Tour Operator of the TCS London Marathon.

Step 2 – Meet requirements (see “Who May Purchase” below)
Step 3 – Determine which package best suits your needs.
Step 4 – Place your deposit.
Step 5 – Get training! You’re running the 2025 TCS London Marathon!

Who May Purchase?
Any Canadian with a Canadian address (or non-Canadian living in a country where there is no official tour operator) and who will be 18 or older on Sunday, April 21, 2025 may purchase one of our guaranteed entry packages.

If you are not Canadian you must obtain permission from us before registering.

Packages
We offer two packages:
2 Runners Sharing Package
This package is for two runners, both wanting a marathon entry, traveling together and sharing one hotel room.
Price is per runner with this package.

1 Runner Package
This package is for 1 runner, or 1 runner and 1 non-runner in the same room.
The price is for the hotel, 1 marathon entry and a max of 2 people in the room. More than 2 people in the room will require a larger room and will incur additional costs.

NOTE: single or twin beds will not accommodate more than one adult or one child per bed.

• CAD$250 initial deposit is required via Race Roster to hold your spot.
• £750 (GBP) by wire is due within 30 days of placing your initial deposit.
• The balance of your package must be paid in Pounds by wire transfer and received no later than October 1^st, 2024.
• Wire instructions will be sent after your initial deposit has been received.

Why Rates are in Pounds (£) and We Take Mixed Forms of Payment
As you are traveling to the UK for this event, both the hotels and the marathon charge in Pounds and therefore we must charge the same to avoid having to build in an exchange buffer due to the constantly changing CAD. This ends up saving you money!

As a Canadian company, the only way we can accept Pounds is by wire transfer. We can not take any other form of payment.

We take your initial deposit in CAD so that you can quickly hold an entry and to give you more time to get to your bank to send the wire as we appreciate these things take time. This is important as we typically sell out in as little as two weeks!

Packages
We will provide guaranteed entry only as part of a package that includes hotel. Our packages include 3 nights but there is a strict 3 night minimum. We are not permitted to sell entry only.

Flexibility
We understand that injuries occur and plans change. That said, we will be as flexible as possible if you need to cancel assuming you let us know prior to registration closing and we are able to resell your package (usually not an issue when enough notice is given). If you cancel after the race registration closes or we are unable to find a replacement, we will not be able to offer a refund, in part or in whole, for your package.

Cancellation/Deferral/Refund Policy
If we can resell your package, the following fees will apply:
15% of your payments if cancelling 120 days or more prior to registration closing.

50% of payments if cancelling 6 days or less prior to registration closing
100% of your payment amounts if cancelling after registration closes or at any time if we're unable to resell your package

The difference between what you paid and the fee listed above will be held as a credit for you for 24 months from the time you made your last payment for your package. Credits may only be used for events listed on our website.

Registration is expected to close around March 1, 2025

Wheelchair Competitors
If you are competing with a wheelchair, please let us know at the time of booking as the process is different.

Insurance
Want full peace of mind? Insure your trip!
Each year we have many people cancel due to unforeseen circumstances who did not purchase our travel insurance meaning they end up losing part of or all of their package amount. Protect yourself and your money by purchasing our Group Insurance through ManuLife.

With our insurance you will be able to cancel for insurable reasons as well as running injuries while training! We offer various insurance packages including Cancellation, Interruption, Medical and Baggage. For full details on coverage, please click here: Manulife Financial.

Late Fees
We hate charging late fees, and rarely do, but neither the London Marathon nor the hotels in London will accept late payments from us under any circumstance. Therefore if you miss your payment deadline with us, we then have to pay for you or London will charge us a fee or cancel your package. That being the case, we must have your final payment in by the deadline, else the following late fees will be levied:
-£50 for any payment that's between 1 and 7 days late
-£100 for any payment that's between 7 and 14 days late

Those that do not pay within 14 days of their payment due date may lose their package and deposit as London will not refund us.
