Support on the day of London Marathon
Find out where we’ll be cheering you on on Marathon Day and how we’ll celebrate at the post-race reception.
There’s nothing we love more than cheering on our runners at the London Marathon. We’re so inspired by everyone who laces up their running shoes to raise money to accelerate cures for brain tumours. So, we always try to put some extra pep in your step as you pass our three cheer points scattered across the marathon route.
The run was brilliant but tough. Seeing The Charity cheer points dotted along the route to cheer us on gave us an enormous lift and took some of the weight our of our tired legs. The love was genuine and much appreciated.

Tower Bridge 12.5 miles / 20 kilometres
Iconic! We’ll be stationed on the bridge on the runner’s right, so run and look to your right and give us a wave!
Cheer point two
Canary Wharf 18 miles / 29 kilometres
In comparison to Tower Bridge, this location can be a little quieter but don’t worry, we’ll just cheer louder!
Cheer point three
Embankment 24 miles / 38.5 kilometres
Nearly there! when you pass the 24 mile mark, look out for us on your right so we can give you one last boost before the finish line.
