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.
