The Traitors winner, Harry Clark to run London Marathon for DofE
The Traitors winner, Harry Clark has announced he is running the 2026 TCS London Marathon for The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE).
Taking on his first ever marathon, Harry hopes to raise vital funds so more young people across the UK can access the DofE and develop confidence, resilience, and skills to tackle life’s toughest challenges.
A passionate advocate for young people – Harry has already inspired DofE Award holders as a speaker at the charity’s Gold Award celebration events at Buckingham Palace earlier this year. As a young adult himself, he’s showing that with determination, anything is possible – just as the DofE empowers young people to discover their potential.
Harry said: “Winning The Traitors has given me an incredible platform to take on new challenges. I’m proud to represent The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at the marathon – a charity I truly believe in. The DofE offers young people amazing opportunities and lessons that stay with them for life.
“Running the marathon for the DofE is about giving back, raising money and inspiring young people to achieve any goal they set for themselves. I’m really looking forward to challenging myself and can’t wait to cross the finish line.”
Harry will lead the DofE’s largest-ever team of London Marathon runners, including current UK Youth Ambassador William. The 2026 race also marks a milestone year for the charity as it celebrates 70 years of supporting young people.
Alex McDowell, DofE Fundraising Director said: “We’re delighted Harry is supporting the DofE by running the London Marathon. Just like the young people who do DofE, he’s embracing a new challenge and developing skills you can’t always learn from a textbook. Harry has already inspired thousands of DofE Award holders, and we can’t wait to follow his marathon journey.
“The money raised by Harry, and all the Team DofE runners, will help remove the financial barriers that prevent young people from accessing a life-changing DofE experience. Running a marathon isn’t for everyone, but there are many ways to fundraise for the DofE. Whatever challenge you feel inspired to take on, your efforts will help transform young lives.”
