Dentaid the Dental Charity is inviting runners to sign up for some of the most prestigious and in demand events in the running calendar.

The charity has places available for one of the most iconic running races in the UK, the London Landmarks Half Marathon on April 12th, 2026 – an event that was 30 times over subscribed last year.

This challenge starts on Pall Mall and takes in some of the capital’s most famous sights, from the Houses of Parliament and the Tower of London to St Paul’s Cathedral and The Shard before finishing close to Downing Street.

The London Landmarks Half Marathon is just one of the events runners can take part in as part of Dentaid’s Run for Charity programme for 2025/26, with more than a dozen events on the calendar ranging from 5ks and 10ks to half and full marathons in a host of locations around the UK and in Europe.

Dentaid also has places available for marathon events in Brighton, Edinburgh and Manchester over the coming months, along with the chance to lace up your running shoes and hit the streets of the French capital for the Paris Marathon in April 2026 or beautiful Holland for the Amsterdam Half Marathon in October 2025.

For those who would prefer a slightly shorter distance, there’s the opportunity to take part in many half marathons, 10 kilometre and 5 kilometre races around the country, from Goodwood and Bournemouth in the south to Bath, London, Manchester and Edinburgh.

Runners can sign up for any of the races by visiting the fundraising section of Dentaid’s website https://www.dentaid.org/fundraise/events-and-challenges/ selecting which event they would like to take part in and agreeing to the minimum fundraising amount.

All the money raised will help Dentaid support people experiencing homelessness, harm, poverty and abuse through outreach dental clinics.

There are plenty of other ways to support Dentaid in the coming months, with the charity’s Mercedes-Benz World track day in Surrey fast approaching on September 19th and Dentaid’s charity skydive at Old Sarum Airfield in Salisbury close behind on September 28th.
