Moreover, with so many professional and amateur runners wanting to participate, the competition to lock in a spot can get intense. To help you understand how to secure your spot, here are the main ways you can register for the event:<\/p><ol><li><strong>Ballot Entry<\/strong><br \/>The public ballot for 2025 has already closed, the final day was <strong>26 April 2024<\/strong>. If you already entered, keep your eyes on your mail as notifications will be sent to approved applicants.<\/li><li><strong>Charity Entry<\/strong><br \/>By agreeing to raise a set amount of money for a cause, participants gain guaranteed places. Many of the marathon&#8217;s participants enter this way, with popular charities including the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK.<\/li><li><strong>Good For Age Entry<br \/><\/strong>If you hold a qualifying time in a recent marathon, you may have a chance to gain a <strong>Good For Age<\/strong> place.

Start training months in advance with a plan suited to your fitness level. Concentrate on building your endurance gradually.<\/li><li>Proper nutrition is essential. Prioritize carbohydrates for energy, and don\u2019t forget proteins and healthy fats. Practice your race-day fueling strategy during training.<\/li><li>Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate running gear. Break in your running shoes during training to avoid blisters on race day.<\/li><li>Begin the race at a sustainable pace. Many runners make the mistake of starting too fast and struggling in the later miles. Trust your training and stick to your plan.<\/li><li>Hydrate!
