Walk Through History – And Help Young People Face Cancer

Lace up for a unique walking challenge through some of London’s hidden historic gems – and help transform the lives of young people with cancer.

The London Summer Walk explores the eastern stretch of the Thames, packed with lesser-known sights and stories from the capital’s past. Starting by the grand Woolwich Barracks – just a short walk from the Elizabeth Line, DLR and Overground – this late summer adventure has something for everyone.

Silver and yellow London Summer Walk medal

Take on the full Marathon loop, a 25km route through Greenwich, or a shorter but scenic 10km option. However far you go, you’ll be raising funds to support young people when cancer turns their world upside down.

With a fun warm-up, expert support, regular rest stops with snacks & drinks, and a BBQ, bar & live music waiting at the finish line – this isn’t just a challenge, it’s a celebration!

You’ll also get a finisher’s medal, T-shirt, and the incredible feeling of making a difference.

Walk for change in 2026 – sign up for the London Summer Walk and make every step count for Teenage Cancer Trust.

Why support Teenage Cancer Trust

We create world class cancer services for young people in the UK, providing life-changing care and support so young people don’t have to face cancer alone.

Every day, seven young people aged 13-24 hear the words “you have cancer”. They will each need specialised nursing care and support to get them through the toughest times they may have faced.

We’re the only UK charity dedicated to meeting this vital need. By choosing to run for Teenage Cancer Trust, you can help us to reach every young person facing cancer and make a huge difference.

So you know we’re the real deal, these are our registered charity details: 1062559 (England & Wales), SC039757 (Scotland).
