What is the TCS London Marathon MyWay?
The TCS London Marathon MyWay gives you the freedom to take on 26.2 miles your way, on the route of your choice, at any time from 00:00 to 23:59:59 BST on the same day as the mass event in London.
You can complete the distance with others or on your own, from home or away, in stages or all at once – it’s up to you!
How does the TCS London Marathon MyWay work?
When you sign up to do the virtual marathon you'll have a full 24 hours to complete your 26.2 miles on Sunday 21 April, choosing your very own location and route. You can take breaks in this time, and complete in as many runs as you like. You can use the official TCS London Marathon App to log and track your run.
Whether you want to amble along country lanes or power up and over hills, the TCS London Marathon MyWay is your chance to complete 26.2 miles however and wherever you wish on Marathon Day.
Why run for Cancer Research UK?
Bridie has taken on the Great North Run six times as part of Team Cancer Research UK. She fundraises in memory of her Dad, who died of bowel cancer.
My first runs were really hard, but I trained and persevered, and I got better. On the day of my first Great North Run I wore my Cancer Research UK vest with pride, I was so happy to be taking part. The atmosphere was amazing and crossing the finish line I was ecstatic! I was so proud of myself and how far I’d come. Every step is worth it. For every person we lose to cancer, it spurs me on even more to continue fundraising so that we can find a cure.
