Sergio Aguiar has completed the Tokyo Marathon this morning!
The 26.2 mile run was the fourth of the six World Marathon Majors that he has now run.
He has now conquered marathons in Berlin, Chicago, New York and Tokyo.
He said: “Tokyo thank you! For me, this marathon held a different atmosphere compared to the others.
“I think this was due to the culture of this beautiful city. A different world to anything I’ve experienced.
“This was my best time recorded…. but also the hardest one of the majors so far.
“Unexpected warm weather. Of course Alice sent the sunshine, as she always does.”
Next to come are the Boston Marathon in the USA on Monday 20th April 2026 before his finale at the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April 2026.
Sergio was cheered on in Tokyo by his wife Alexandra.
Sergio, who lives in Southport, is running to reach out to people from around the world to support the Alice’s WonderDance Foundation that he and Alexandra founded in memory of their beloved daughter, Alice, 9, who tragically died in the Southport tragedy.
Her spirit carries on through Alice’s WonderDance, which empowers young people through dance programmes, wellness initiatives, and creative expression.

Alexandra & Sergio Aguiar said:
“We carry our daughter in our hearts every step of the way, and the name of the foundation proudly by our side.
“We are deeply grateful for all your support and kindness, and we count on your continued help to keep spreading the word and raising more funds for Alice’s WonderDance.”
Sergio Aguiar began his challenge at the Berlin Marathon in Germany on 21st September 2025.
Alexandra & Sergio Aguiar said:
“Alice’s WonderDance is a foundation we created to carry forward Alice’s beautiful legacy.
“Alice was more than a dancer – she was a beam of light. Kind, inclusive, fair, and full of joy, she made sure no-one around her ever felt left out. She welcomed everyone into her world with open arms and an open heart.
“We want to continue what Alice did so naturally – to make dance a place where every young person feels included, valued, and empowered to shine. That’s what Alice’s WonderDance is all about.”
