Athletes and members of the general public will take to the roads to compete in the 2022 London Marathon today. The marathon is usually held in April, but was moved to October last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. When this year’s marathon was being organised, it was unknown if the Covid restrictions would still be in place in April, so the October date has remained for another year, but will return to its usual April date next year.
Over 40,000 people will tackle the 26.2-mile course around the capital this Sunday and many more will tune in to watch the action unfold. Mirror Sport has all the details for how you can make that happen. The next edition of the London Marathon will commence later this morning with the Elite wheelchair men's and women's races commencing at 8.50am.
The elite women's race will begin 10 minutes later, while the elite men's race and general public competition will start at 9.40am. The event is airing across the BBC and coverage kicks off at 8.30am on BBC Two, before the action switches to BBC One at 9.25am, before concluding at 2.35pm.
