Get ready to Go the Distance at Disney’s Hercules Toga Run, a fun-filled 5K charity event taking place on Sunday 26th July 2026 at Theatre Royal Drury Lane. Hosted in partnership with RunThrough, this heroic morning invites runners to lace up, layer a DIY toga over their running kit, and take on a guided 5K route in aid of Make-A-Wish UK.
The day begins with a Herculean warm-up before participants set off in pace groups from Theatre Royal Drury Lane. All levels are welcome, whether you’re running, jogging, or soaking up the atmosphere in full Olympian style. Expect surprise giveaways on race day, including Hercules merchandise, plus an exclusive Hercules finisher’s medallion.
All proceeds from the £10 entry fee will go to Make-A-Wish UK, Disney’s longstanding charitable partner. Every step helps grant life-changing wishes for critically ill children and their families when they need it most.
