As well as TCS London Marathon runners, this year, ACT also had four MyWay runners, who opted to run the 26.2 miles in an area of their choice.
Husband and wife team, Linda and Adrian Pepper, completed their MyWay in London – but chose to complete the actual London Marathon course in reverse, setting off at one minute past midnight on Sunday, running through the night.
Linda (pictured right) chose to run for ACT after receiving life-changing surgery at Addenbrooke’s and together, she and Adrian have raised £4,000 for ACT after running in this year’s TTP Cambridge Half, the Paris Marathon as well as London.
Despite a fall at the five-and-a-half-mile mark where she really hurt her knee, Linda said she was determined to carry on. “This was my sixth marathon but also my hardest one. My motto is – she believed she could, so she did. Last night I did!”
The TCS London Marathon is the ultimate bucket-list event where you’ll join 50,000 runners as you take on the UK’s biggest marathon! The world-famous route takes you past many of the capital’s iconic landmarks, old and new!
Your efforts will mean the world to patients & their families
Whether this is your first marathon or you’re a seasoned pro, as part of #TeamAddenbrooke’s, we’ll make sure the London Marathon is a challenge you’ll remember.
“When you’ve been touched as we have by Addenbrooke’s and the Rosie – we’ll owe everything to them forever, quite honestly – it’s an honour to run the marathon for their charity, Addenbrooke’s Charitable Trust (ACT).” – Jack Sibbons, TCS London Marathon participant 2026.
