Matteo Delrio in training for the London Marathon

Matteo Delrio has now raised more than half of his target for the 2026 London Marathon, in aid of Hospitality Action.

The determined runner continues to train, in the dark, cold winter, committed to his preparations for the 26.2-mile race in April.

Matteo, Head Concierge at The NoMad Hotel London, said:

"Training continues in the cold, dark hours of winter. Which, in a strange way, mirrors real life at times. It’s a good reminder that progress often happens quietly, step by step, and that support really matters when challenges appear."

He added: "Like many in hospitality, I’m currently navigating a period of change. One of those real-life phases that reminds you how important it is to have support around you when things feel uncertain. And that’s exactly what Hospitality Action does, every day, for people across our industry."

Donations

Matteo has raise more than £1,400 and hopes to hit £2,500. If you can help, or want to read his story, click here.
