London Marathon for The Seafarers' Charity

The Seafarers' Charity London Marathon 2026

I'm fundraising for Seafarers' Charity

I'm running the London Marathon on the 26th April 2026.

Every day, seafarers keep the world moving. From the goods on our shelves to the fuel that powers our homes and their hard work often goes unseen.

That’s why I’m proud to be running the 2026 London Marathon in support of The Seafarers’ Charity. This incredible organisation provides vital assistance to those who work at sea, often under harsh and isolating conditions. 

Running a marathon is tough, but it's nothing compared to the sacrifices made by those who spend months at sea, often far from loved ones, to keep global trade moving. I’m dedicating every mile to them.

Running Across Continents: A year of Marathons

Tuesday 6th Jan
I’ve been pretty lucky to have had my name drawn in the second round lottery for the Tokyo Marathon. So, I’ll be running Tokyo in March, London in April, Copenhagen in May, and, for the first time, a full marathon with my best friend who has been living in Australia for many years, the Gold Coast Marathon. 

It will be his second marathon, and I’m just so happy to have found a way to enjoy an activity together. I’ll finish the year with a marathon in December in Valencia, giving me a reason to keep training through the summer, which has usually been a challenge in this part of the world (only for the right reasons, one would say) ;)
