Apple has announced its participation in the 2026 London Marathon with a series of in-store events, guided training sessions, and digital challenges tied to Apple Watch, aiming to engage runners and promote health technology ahead of the race.
The tech company confirmed its involvement in the annual event, which takes place on April 26, 2026, through a combination of physical activations at select Apple Store locations across London and virtual experiences accessible via the Apple Fitness+ platform and Watch ecosystem.
Apple Stores in key areas such as Regent Street, Covent Garden, and Westfield Stratford City will host pre-race preparation sessions in the weeks leading up to the marathon. These events will include guided runs led by Apple Fitness+ trainers, workshops on optimizing Apple Watch metrics for endurance training, and opportunities for participants to test the latest Watch models under real-world conditions.
Participants will be able to join digital challenges through the Activity app, where completing specific training milestones — such as consistent weekly mileage or target heart rate zones — will unlock exclusive digital badges and commemorative animations viewable on Apple Watch faces.
