London Marathon 2026 Fundraiser profile: Isaac Davis-Kensett

The London Marathon is arguably the World's most well-known marathon event, but also importantly raises valuable funds for thousands of charities. This year runners raised over £75million, making it the biggest single-day charity fundraising event.

We have two people running on behalf of Clothing Collective in the 2026 event, so wanted to introduce the first of those to you in this short Q&A.

What is your name?

Isaac Davis-Kensett

Where do you live?

Brighton.

How long have you been running for?

15 years.

What made you take it up?

My Dad was big into running when he was younger. He used to take me out once I was old enough and we would run together.

What made you choose to run the London Marathon?

It's been a dream of mine since the first time I went to watch my Dad take part in it. 

Have you taken part in it before?

No.

What other running events have you done before?

I've taken part in several half marathons over the past few years, including Brighton, Reigate, Hastings and Leith Hill.

What training are you currently doing?

I'm currently following a running programme that consists of long runs, as well shorter, more speed related work. I do these four days per week.

I see a running coach once a month, who does a session with me and designs my programme. 

How did you hear about Clothing Collective and what made you choose to run on behalf of us?

One of my family members works with the charity and has given me insight into the great work that they do! 

What words of advice do you have for anyone considering taking part in a sponsored event for charity?

I would take the training more seriously than you might initially think, especially for a Marathon. Also, if you're like me and rarely post on social media, just remember that what you're doing is for a good cause, so don't be shy, keep sharing and posting away! 

If you would like to support Isaac, then please do so via his JustGiving page.
