London Marathon 2014-2022
The London Marathon is an annual 26.2 mile foot race that draws tens of thousands of runners from around the world. Participants run past many of London's most famous landmarks including The Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, and Buckingham Palace, before crossing the finish line in St. James Park. The race first took place in 1981 and is one of the six marathons that make up the Abbott World Marathon Majors series.
