Sports & Fitness
For over three decades, the London Marathon has been one of the world's most beloved events. With around 36,000 runners filling the streets of central London, the London Marathon races a 26.2-mile course. Characterised by crazy costumes and anything-goes, the marathon is a huge draw for runners and spectators alike. From Batman to Superman, super elite athletes to beginners can take part and stand out from the crowd, without losing their seriousness in the competition. Officially known as the TCS London Marathon, the marathon is open to anyone who is willing to commit, train and run to the finish line. The route runs straight through the city centre, passing the Thames, Blackheath and Greenwich, making it a great way to see London on foot for the first time. Along the way, you'll also see attractions such as Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London and the London Eye. Founded by New York City Marathon winner Christ Brasher, the event's mission is to get people all over the world running, while running for whatever cause they choose. It raises millions of dollars each year, not only creating some of the most accomplished athletes, but also helping people around the world who need support and funds.
