How it works

REJECTED? RUN IT ANYWAY.

In no way affiliated to the other 26.2 mile run in the UK’s capital city. Run as REJECT with your number, a finish line held by your mates, the (second) best medal ever and the Rejects app.

A printed Rejects Marathon race number: a red REJECT stamp, the word MARATHON, number 168412, the name John, and the line Greenwich to The Mall, 26.2 miles

Rejects Party

NO CROWD? BRING YOUR OWN.

Have a Rejects Party: pick a day, rope in your mates and run it together. Or cheer from the pavement with the finish tape - your pack comes with 5 metres of it for two friends to hold as your finish line.

Invite your crew

Set a day in the Rejects app and invite friends.

Go public

Post when you're starting and see if other rejects fancy joining you. Strangers today, fellow finishers by The Mall.

Invite your crew on WhatsApp

The Rejects app

Race day happens in the Rejects app

Live tracking, supporter messages in your ears and mile-by-mile audio all happen in the app on your phone. This website is where you enter.
