Flora London Marathon

Are you ready for the most memorable days of your life?

The Flora London Marathon is more that just a sporting event. It is a personal challenge that you will remember for the rest of your life. You will never forget the feeling of crossing that finish line and, of course, the many months of blood, sweat and tears that occur in the run up to the big day.

In this section we look back on the history of the marathon, give you a map of the course and explain the entry process, which includes applying for your own place via the ballot and applying for a guaranteed place should you be unsuccessful in the ballot.
