With the addition of London, Team LUNGevity is now a charity partner for seven of the eight Abbott World Marathon Majors, further expanding opportunities for runners around the world to support lifesaving lung cancer research and patient programs while achieving their personal racing goals.

The announcement comes on the heels of a record year for Team LUNGevity. During the past fiscal year, Team LUNGevity athletes raised nearly $750,000 towards improving outcomes for lung cancer.

Team LUNGevity is powered by lung cancer survivors, their family members, caregivers, and supporters.

"Participating in the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon is an exciting milestone for Team LUNGevity and the entire lung cancer community," said Katie Ginda, Director of Development at LUNGevity Foundation. "Every runner who joins our team helps accelerate research, provide hope and support for patients and families, and raise awareness that anyone with lungs can get lung cancer. We're especially inspired by the survivors who choose to run with us, proving every day what's possible because of continued advances in research."

The 2027 Double TCS London Marathon, for the first time ever, will take place over two days, with 100,000 runners, making it the world's largest marathon. This two-day format will also create the largest fundraising moment in UK sport, which Team LUNGevity is proud to be a part of. As a charity partner, Team LUNGevity will offer guaranteed race entries to runners who commit to fundraising in support of LUNGevity's mission to improve outcomes for everyone diagnosed with lung cancer.

Team LUNGevity participants receive:

Guaranteed entry into the 2027 Double TCS London Marathon

Personalized fundraising coaching and support

Exclusive Team LUNGevity apparel and fundraising tools

Team LUNGevity finisher medal or Repeaters Club rewards

Membership in a passionate community united by the goal of ending lung cancer

Funds raised by Team LUNGevity directly support LUNGevity Foundation's work to fund groundbreaking research, empower patients through education, build supportive communities, and advocate for better access to quality care.
