When is the London Marathon 2025? Start time, date and schedule
Your guide to the London Marathon 2025 including date, start time and TV coverage details.
The London Marathon is back this weekend for the 2025 edition of the iconic race.
A record field of more than 56,000 runners will follow the famous route from Greenwich to The Mall – taking in sights such as Tower Bridge, the London Eye and Big Ben as they go.
The return of four-time winner Eliud Kipchoge is the big story in the men's field while, once again, the women's race looks too tight to call as some of the fastest female athletes in history face off.
Debuts for Olympic triathlon champion Alex Yee and European medallist Eilish McColgan mean there is plenty of British interest as well.
It's not all about the pros, however, and the mass participation race will see thousands of runners, both celebs and the wider public, hit the streets of the capital as well, as they bid to add to the £1.3 billion that has been raised since the race's inception in 1981.
