The London Marathon is one of the highlights of the running calendar and whether you’re keen to follow the elite race or track friends and family making their way around the London Marathon route, it’s a great event to watch live.
This year all eyes are on the women’s elite race, which features perhaps the most exciting field in marathon history. Last year’s winner Yalemzerf Yehualaw, world record holder Brigid Kosgei and Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir are running, while there's an intriguing debut at the distance from Olympic 5,000m and 10,000m champion Sifan Hassan. Unfortunately, Britain’s Eilish McColgan has withdrawn because of a knee issue.
