This legendary event takes runners on a 26.2-mile journey through the capital’s most famous landmarks, from the majestic Tower Bridge and the historic Tower of London to the London Eye, Big Ben, Canary Wharf, and the grand finale at Buckingham Palace. Along the way, cheering crowds fill the streets with unstoppable energy, making this a truly unforgettable experience for runners and spectators alike.

With around 50,000 runners, from elite athletes chasing records to everyday heroes running for personal goals or charity causes, the race promises incredible stories of resilience, determination, and triumph. Millions will be lining the streets, and millions more will be tuning in to watch the live TV and online coverage, making this a global celebration of human spirit.


But the excitement doesn’t stop with the race itself as the celebrity turnout is always one of the highlights! Keep an eye out for famous faces swapping the red carpet for the racecourse, running to raise funds for worthy causes or simply to prove they’ve got what it takes to conquer the marathon challenge.
