A marathon episode for marathon reasons! 136 people are taking part in the TCS London Marathon 2026 to raise funds for The Brain Tumour Charity. 

We are hugely grateful to every single one of them - but couldn't possibly interview them all. So, some of our Involvement Champions chatted to some of our runners to find out their reasons for running - and we've edited excerpts from those conversations to create this inspiring listen. We hope it does them justice - and maybe some runners will listen to this very episode as they run round.

You can read a feature about some of this year's runners on our website by clicking here and find out about how to register for the 2027 event here. 

Good luck to everyone taking part and to all their supporters cheering them on too!
