With the London Marathon postponed because of coronavirus restrictions, organizers of the event have urged people across the UK to instead take part in the 2.6 Challenge to raise vital funds for charities. The 2.6 Challenge urges athletes to continue to raise money for charities while completing physical exercises involving the numbers two and six. The London Marathon was originally scheduled for April 26.

As a nod to his infamous circuits, here’s 26 star jumps,” she added. Credit: Ellie Piggot via Storyful
