My Story

On Saturday 31st January 2026, Fitness Formation in Lancaster is coming together to support Alan Lingwood, who has been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer.

We will run 16 treadmills through a full marathon each in one single day.

This is a team effort and everyone is welcome.

If you can walk for 1 minute, you can take part.

Our goal is to raise money and awareness for Prostate Cancer UK and encourage early testing.

For all event details, please see below.

Details

The event will take place on Saturday 31st January 2026 at Fitness Formation in Lancaster, starting at 9am and running until the final marathon is completed.

This will be a full day event, with people able to drop in, take part, and support for as little or as long as they like.

We will have 16 treadmills running throughout the day, with each treadmill completing a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles (or 42,195m).

This is a shared team effort, meaning no one is expected to complete a marathon on their own (that is of course, unless you want to!).

Participants will rotate on and off the treadmills, contributing in whatever way they can.

If you can walk for 1 minute, you can take part. If you cannot walk, you are more than welcome to come along, cheer, support, and be part of the atmosphere.

To keep the energy high all day, we will have DJ Summer Jenkins from SDJ Events, and her team, providing high energy music from start to finish. The aim is to create a positive, motivating environment that keeps everyone moving, smiling, and connected throughout the challenge.

There will be free refreshments available all day for participants and supporters. This will include water, Lucozade, Red Bull, and a selection of snacks to help keep everyone fuelled and hydrated while they take part.

We are also planning entertainment for children, so families can attend and feel fully included. Full details of children’s entertainment will be confirmed closer to the event, but we aim to make this a family friendly day where everyone feels welcome.

The entire event will be professionally documented by two of the best fitness videographers and photographers in the UK. They will be capturing the effort, teamwork, atmosphere, and emotion of the day, helping us to spread awareness far beyond the event itself.

Throughout the day, we will be running raffles with a range of prizes available. Raffle tickets will be available on the day, with all proceeds going towards supporting Prostate Cancer UK.

We are incredibly grateful to our event sponsors, whose support helps make the day possible.

The event is proudly sponsored by Alan Lingwood from Lingwood Security Management, Ike Eastwood from Surge Volt Electrical, Tom Beanlands from Rhino Specialist Cleaning and Bronte Archer from Archer & Co Foot Health.

We are currently welcoming conversations with additional sponsors who would like to support the event and help cover the running costs, allowing us to maximise the amount raised for charity.

Once the final mile is completed, we will be heading out that evening to celebrate together and mark what we have achieved as a community.

This event is about awareness, support, and coming together for a cause that affects far too many people. Whether you are taking part on the treadmills, cheering from the sidelines, bringing your family, or simply stopping by to donate and show support, you are welcome.
