About This Trip

The TCS London Marathon is the largest running charity event in the world, one of the eight Abbott World Marathon Majors, and this year the event is being held over 2 days. The event is set over a largely flat course, beginning at three separate start lines at Blackheath and finishing on the Mall just past Buckingham Palace and conveniently within a short walk of our FIT hotel locations.

FIT has been a proud partner of the TCS London Marathon for the past seven years, and we're looking to return for our eighth in 2027. If you want to guarantee your ticket to the 2027 TCS London Marathon on Saturday, April 24, 2027 today - secure your guaranteed entry to the event with a FIT turnkey, race weekend travel package.

A timeless treasure in the heart of London, steps from the finish line (350m) and iconic landmarks, this is one of London’s most historic and cherished buildings. FIT rates this a 5-star boutique experience, and we love this property's class, elegance, color, and creativity found within the vibrant Westminster neighborhood.

Welcome to London!

Welcome to London! After landing in London, make your own way to the hotel. Check-in is at 3pm check-in. Today, meet your FIT team; if you arrive earlier and your room is not ready, leave your bags with the bellman and take a stroll around your new neighborhood!

Also stop by to meet your FIT team at the hotel and grab your welcome amenity. Our first event is our departure to the expo to collect our race bibs. We will leave about 2:00pm so best to book AM arriving flights.

Upon return, join FIT at our welcome reception and enjoy a quick bite to eat before it’s time to get a good night’s sleep at the hotel.

Shakeout Run and Pre-Race Dinner

This morning, stretch out the jetlag and airplane seats with our FIT Shakeout Run along the Thames. Breakfast is included today. This is a day to settle into the area, get used to the time frame, and enjoy some London site seeing. We will make some recommendations throughout the year of things to do and see.

Maybe stroll by Buckingham Palace and along the Thames, maybe an afternoon tea, the Beefeater Tour at the Tower of London, the Churchill War Rooms, a visit up the Shard, a stop at Penny Lane or a Harry Potter tour - there are so many things to do!

Tonight we will have a pre-race dinner to gather together before tomorrow's race.
