London Running: A World Major of Charity and Landmarks
Running in London is a quintessential global running experience, defined by its flat course, iconic scenery, and the phenomenal energy of the crowds. The TCS London Marathon is one of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, known not only for its competitive speed but also for being the single largest annual fundraising event in the world. The course offers an unparalleled sightseeing tour, starting in Greenwich Park and leading runners through the historic maritime town, crossing the Thames River over the iconic Tower Bridge, and cruising past the Tower of London, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.
The Imperial Finish and Half Marathon Prep
The marathon route is remarkably flat, making it a desirable location for achieving a Boston Marathon qualifying time, despite the course having several tricky turns. The grand finish line is one of the most memorable in the world, located on The Mall, right in front of Buckingham Palace, offering a truly royal climax to the 42.2-kilometer journey. The immense support from the crowds, often dressed in colorful, eccentric costumes to support their charities, transforms the entire city into a massive, joyous street party.
For runners not ready for the full distance, events like The Big Half offer a popular half marathon option. This race follows much of the final section of the full marathon course, providing a perfect opportunity to experience the iconic route and high-energy crowd support before the main event. Whether you are running for charity or competing for a PB, London delivers a majestic, expertly organized, and flat-out fun race experience.
