The 2023 London Marathon will get underway on Sunday morning with runners of all ages and abilities taking to the streets of the English capital.
The 43rd staging of the event is back in its usual April slot, with the Covid-19 pandemic having forced the famous race to be pushed back to the autumn in 2022. Around 50,000 people will take on the 26.2 miles between Greenwich and the Mall, with thousands of pounds being raised for charity in the process.
And whilst spotting your friends and family on the streets or even via television might prove difficult, there is a way to track every step of their progress. You can even send messages of support from afar which can be read when they reach the finish line.
