The London Marathon is set to take place this weekend on Sunday, October 2, rather than the usual date in April.
This will be the third successive year that the marathon has taken place in October after the 2020 marathon was delayed due to the first national lockdown in the UK. However, the 2023 London Marathon is set to take place in April as the race returns to its normal schedule.
Up to 50,000 runners are set to take on the traditional course from Greenwich to The Mall. In addition, up to 50,000 participants will be completing the 26.2 miles on the course of their choice anywhere in the world between 00:00 and 23:59:59 BST on the same day.
