TCS London Marathon 2023

9:30 am

Since the first running in 1981, the TCS London Marathon has held a place as one of the world’s most iconic road races. This year, over 40,000 runners will leave from Blackheath and head up the Thames toward the finish in Westminster.

The course has three distinct start points, where athletes are grouped by expected finish times. No matter which one you start at, all three routes join together just before mile 3. After a short downhill section near the start, the rest of the course is mostly flat. Runners will cross the world famous Tower Bridge and pass iconic landmarks like the Houses of Parliament on their way to the finish on The Mall near Buckingham Palace.

On the finish line, more than 58% of runners will upload their race to Strava. Join the community!
