Marathon de Londres

The Marathon de Londres (London Marathon) will be held over two days for the first time in 2027, on 24 and 25 April 2027, with around 100,000 runners in total (45,000 on the first day and 55,000 on the second). One of the World Marathon Majors, the 42.2 km race starts in Greenwich and Blackheath and finishes on The Mall in front of Buckingham Palace, passing Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf and the banks of the Thames.

Getting a place is one of the marathon's great challenges: the 2027 ballot received more than 1.3 million applications. The other routes in are charity places, official tour operators and, for British runners, time-qualified entries (Championship and Good For Age).
