Join our team, and every step you take will help young people with cancer get the specialist care and support they deserve.

Run down Mare Street through a carnival of sound, pass by the famous Town Hall, head through the historic Broadway Market, and then take in Hackney Wick, which is flush with vibrant street art.

The Hackney Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 16 May 2027.

Our charity places in the Hackney Half Marathon are now open. Charity places cost £30 each, with a minimum sponsorship target of £300.

The difference you'll make

Young person on hospital bed talking with Teenage Cancer Trust nurse

Today in the UK, seven young people aged 13-24 will hear the words: “you have cancer.”

It’s most likely the toughest and scariest thing they’ve ever faced – and it takes an unstoppable team to get them through it.

By taking on a challenge for Teenage Cancer Trust, you become part of the team – because the money you raise helps fund our specialist hospital units, nurses and youth workers.

Your support means young people don’t face cancer alone. You’re helping make sure they have the best expert care from a friendly, dedicated team, alongside others their age they can relate to.

We’re the only UK charity providing specialised nursing care and support for young people with cancer – and we receive no government funding, so we couldn’t do it without you.
