Hospitality
Start Hospitality
Our start hospitality offers the chance for runners to relax before taking on their 26.2 mile journey. Within start hospitality is a coffee station, breakfast buffet consisting of an omelette station, pastries, bananas and yoghurt. Live TV coverage of the event and private toilets are available, along with baggage drop off service, which will be transported to the finish.
Start hospitality is open from 06:00 until 11:00
Finish Hospitality
Our finish hospitality offers an exciting opportunity to watch runners complete their 26.2 mile journey along The Mall. Here there is a complimentary bar, food station, serving breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. Multiple TV screens within the area will be showing live TV coverage of the TCS London Marathon.
There is a changing area and private toilets, further specific runner facilities may be added closer to the event.
Finish hospitality is open from 09:00 until 19:30.
Baggage process
All baggage handed into the start hospitality volunteers will be transported directly to the finish hospitality area via a separate baggage truck. Once runners have completed the TCS London Marathon they will receive their medal and then left at Marlborough road, following signs to the finish hospitality area, here is where runners will check in if they have finish hospitality and collect their bag before following the path to the finish hospitality lounge. If runners do not have finish hospitality included they will be able to collect their bag and return to the finish line process.
Access
Access to either start and finish hospitality can only be gained by the guest being registered on the Sponsorworks Hospitality system. Each guest will receive an invitation that they must accept in order to receive information on how to get to the hospitality area and a QR code that is scanned, confirming their attendance.

Sponsorworks
Sponsorworks is our hospitality ticketing system, if a sponsor has tickets within their contract the lead administrator for the team will receive a link to register their guests. Guest details required are first name, last name and email address. Once entered into the system, all guests will receive an invitation email with further details of how to register for their ticket. If a guest chooses to decline their invitation, the lead administrator will receive an email notification that the guest has declined and then the opportunity to reallocate that ticket to someone else for use. Once all tickets have been allocated, the lead administrator will be unable to send anymore tickets unless someone declines the invitation.
When a lead administrator is listed as the lead they will receive an email with registration details and the opportunity to set a password. You can sign in using this link. You can reset your password if you have forgotten it. If you are experiencing any issues with logging in, please contact hospitality@londonmarathonevents.co.uk.
If a guest has registered to attend hospitality, and can no longer attend please contact hospitality@londonmarathonevents.co.uk and the hospitality team can cancel their registration, which will alert the lead administrator that the ticket can now be reallocated.
