Disney’s Hercules is teaming up with RunThrough to host a special Toga Run in support of Make-A-Wish UK this summer.

Taking place on Sunday 26 July 2026, participants are invited to channel their inner hero by creating their own toga to wear over running gear for the 5km route.

The event will begin with a themed warm-up at Theatre Royal Drury Lane before runners set off on a route that starts and finishes at the iconic West End venue.

       

Runners can expect a celebratory atmosphere with surprise giveaways on the day, including Hercules merchandise and an exclusive finisher’s medallion.

The £10 registration fee will be donated directly to Make-A-Wish UK, with participants also encouraged to fundraise further via individual donation pages.
