Disney and RunThrough Are Teaming Up For a ‘Hercules’ 5K
As Disney’s stage musical adaptation of Hercules continues in London’s West End at the historic Theatre Royal Drury Lane, Disney Theatrical Group is teaming up with RunThrough, the United Kingdom’s largest running events organiser, for a good cause.
On March 22, Disney’s Hercules and RunThrough are hosting a Toga Run, where participants are encouraged to channel their inner hero for a special run.
Drawing inspiration from everyone’s favorite demigod, runners can create their own toga to wear over their running gear!

“Calling all mortals, demigods, and early risers! It’s time to lace up your trainers, drape on your toga, and run like a true Olympian,” RunThrough teased.
Raising Money For Make-A-Wish
The entire event will raise money for Make-A-Wish UK, which will use the funds to grant life-changing wishes to critically ill children and their families.

Going from zero to hero, participants will then set out on a 5km run, which starts and ends at the theater.
Along the way, there will be surprise giveaways, including exclusive Hercules merchandise.
