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.

Cheer Points
If you’ve got friends and family cheering you on, they’re more than welcome to join us at one of our cheer points. We’re easy to spot in our bold red kit and if they don’t see us, they’ll certainly hear us!
Cheer point one
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.

Meet and Greet
Once you have soaked up all the glory of crossing the finish line and collected your well deserved medal, we’ll be there to congratulate you! With 50,000 runners completing the marathon, it can get very busy and phone signal can be poor, so we’re providing a dedicated meeting spot where you can reunite with family, friends and The Charity team.
Location
You’ll find us in the meet up points area H-M at Horse Guards Parade – you can see where this is on our map below and by using What3words. Look out for our branding to spot us easily, and our charity team will be wearing our charity coats and t-shirts to welcome you. If you are coming from the finish line in St James’ Park we will be on the back right of the meet up area.
