The London Marathon returns to it's usual April date this year, with runners making their way around the 26.2-mile course on Sunday, April 23.
As with last year's October event, the 2023 marathon will feature more than 40,000 runners all looking to achieve different goals. The race will begin in South-East London and finish in the centre of the capital, not far from Buckingham Palace.
Many of those involved will be taking part for the first time, while others will be keen to improve on their time from their most recent marathon. Months of hard work and training have gone into it for thousands of starters, but not everyone will have the same target.
