It’s hard to believe the 2026 is already over! 🤯🎉

The atmosphere was incredible this year, with records broken, personal bests smashed and so many of our ABF runners digging deep and pushing themselves further than ever before.

A huge well done to every single person who took part. Whether you were chasing a time or simply making it to the finish, your achievement matters, and you gave it absolutely everything!

Here are some of our favourite moments from an unforgettable day.

Andy Reid MBE is deep into his training for the 2026 TCS London Marathon, and we couldn’t be prouder to cheer him on every step of the way.

As many of you know, Andy’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. After sustaining life‑changing injuries in Afghanistan, he rebuilt his life with extraordinary resilience, supported in part by ABF. Today he continues to give back through the Standing Tall Foundation, helping veterans, families and communities across the country.

Now, as he tackles months of preparation for one of the world’s most iconic races, Andy is once again showing what determination, purpose and community spirit look like in action.

If you’d like to support Andy’s marathon fundraising for ABF and the Standing Tall Foundation, you can do so here: https://tinyurl.com/AndyReidLM

We’ll be sharing more from Andy’s training journey soon — stay tuned and cheer him on!
