The 2026 London Marathon will be held on Sunday 26th April 2026.  We send good wishes to all members running this year.

There will be a cheer squad for the day - see Jo Yarnall for details.

Our 2026 Runners:

Claire Boyes

"I'm running the London Marathon this year as I was lucky enough to get a place from the sponsor TCS who we have a contract with at work.

"I'm fundraising for a charity called Winston's Wish who support bereaved children and young people following the loss of someone close to them. I lost my own mom when I was 6 years old so know how important the work of this charity is in giving children hope in a time of darkness 

"This will be my first London so most importantly I want to soak up the crowds and enjoy it. If I beat my PB from two years ago then that will be an added bonus"

You can support Claire through her fundraising page.

"I’m incredibly grateful to have been given the opportunity to run the London Marathon this year through Aldridge running club. It’s a huge personal challenge, and I’ve chosen to dedicate my run to raising funds for a cause very close to my heart.

"I’m supporting the Haemophilia Society, as this is a condition that has affected my family personally. My 2-year-old grandson is living with this lifelong condition, which will impact many aspects of his life as he grows up.

"The Haemophilia Society has been an incredible source of support for my daughter and her family, providing guidance, reassurance, and a community during challenging times. As a charity that relies solely on donations, they can only continue this vital work with our help.

"If you’re able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean so much to me and my family—and it will help ensure other families receive the same support we have.

"Thank you so much for your kindness and support ❤️2"
