The Virgin London Marathon is the biggest annual fundraising event in the world and with all eyes on London for the 2012 Olympics, what better time to face the challenge of running 26.2 miles around the historic sites of the capital city. This fabulous course starts in Blackheath and winds its way through South East London and Greenwich before crossing Tower Bridge. It then goes across to Docklands, heading back through The City of London, and then along Embankment past Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament and finishing along The Mall – it’s the perfect sightseeing tour!
