In just a few days, thousands of athletes will converge on the streets of London for the eagerly anticipated London Marathon. The gruelling 26-mile challenge will commence in the area between Greenwich and Blackheath, leading runners through some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including the Cutty Sark and Buckingham Palace, and past the bustling scenes of Canary Wharf.

The marathon, set to traverse multiple boroughs, kicks off with a klaxon at Greenwich Park. Participants will journey past the Cutty Sark, cross the River Thames at the 13-mile mark, and continue following the river’s curve. The course will take them through significant challenges, such as the infamous ‘Wall’ at mile 20, and back towards Tower Bridge.
