TCS London Marathon 2026 volunteering

In 2026, more than 300 runners are donning their Teenage Cancer Trust shirts and taking on 26.2 miles to raise funds for young people with cancer. Could you help to celebrate and encourage them by helping us make some noise at our cheer points along the route? Please note that our three cheer point locations will not be confirmed until early in 2026. Please put your preference of volunteer role. Once the cheer points locations have been announced we will be in touch to ask for your preference. If you chose post-race the above will not apply.

About Teenage Cancer Trust

Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity dedicated to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer.

Every day in the UK, six young people will have to face a cancer diagnosis. At Teenage Cancer Trust, we understand that teenage cancer requires specialist care. We know how damaging it is to take a young person away from their nomral life - their friends, their environment, their stuff - and put them in a cancer ward with small children or older people.

In fact, we know that young people have a much better chance in their fight against cancer if they are treated by teenage cancer experts, in an environment tailored to their needs. By volunteering with us you will be helping us to make that happen.
