London Marathon was due to take place on Sunday, 26 April, but unfortunately it was postponed due to coronavirus restrictions.

However, you can still mark the original date and show your support for the charities you love by taking part in the 2.6 Challenge.

Participating is easy, just think up a challenge in involving the numbers 2.6 or 26, it could be anything from running, walking and skipping, to singing or dancing! There are plenty of ideas here.

Once you’ve thought up your challenge, set up a Just Giving page and start fundraising, or simply complete your challenge and donate to a charity of your choice.

Be sure to share your endeavours with family and friends, and on social media, and encourage others to take part.

The challenge can be completed from tomorrow (Sunday, 26 April) and will help charities make up funds during this challenging time.

Many organisations are struggling due to the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent cancelled fundraising events, and need our help more than ever.

We’d love to see what you get up to for the 2.6 Challenge — best of luck!
