Free c2c travel for London Marathon runners 2026

April 15, 2026

To claim the free return trip, participating runners simply need to present their official race number or finisher’s medal to c2c colleagues, at both their departure and arrival stations. 

c2c Managing Director Rob Mullen, said:

“As a keen runner, I’m thrilled that we can once again provide free c2c train travel for those participating in the London Marathon.

“It’s inspiring to see so many runners supporting a wide range of charities and good causes throughout the UK and our own communities. I’d like to extend my best wishes to everyone taking part in this year’s marathon.”
