One of the most exciting days in the calendar is upon us as the 2025 TCS London Marathon is set to be the biggest in the event’s 45-year history.

More than 50,000 runners will pound the capital’s pavements in the name of good causes for the massive event which shuts down half the city.

More than £66m was raised for charity in 2024, with race organisers hoping that can be topped for 2025.
