Following the model introduced last year, the ballot will again be open for five days to give everyone who would like to enter the event a fair chance to do so.
All those who enter for 2017 will find out whether or not they have been successful in early October.
2016 proved to be another record year for the Virgin Money London Marathon. More than 39,000 runners completed the 26.2-mile course, making the 36th edition of the race the biggest in its history by almost 1,500 participants.
The event also celebrated its one millionth finisher with the #oneinamillion campaign. The identity of the millionth finisher will be announced on Monday 9 May.
