Route information

Distance: 26.2 miles Terrain: Closed roads and pavements Elevation: Mostly flat
The London Marathon course is one of the most iconic routes in running. Winding its way through the heart of the capital, with crowds lining the side of the route at every step, the course has barely changed since the race was first held in 1981.
The course starts in leafy Blackheath, heads east through Charlton and Woolwich for three miles, turns west and passes the Cutty Sark in Greenwich after six to seven miles.
It crosses the River Thames at Tower Bridge and then loops around London through Canary Wharf and back along the river past the Shard and the London Eye.
Runners will finish in a blaze of glory as they pass several of London's most iconic landmarks in the final few miles: Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace.
