Think of the London Marathon start time like a Sunday roast. You don’t just eat the main course at exactly noon. You have the starter (wheelchair racers), the main course (elite and mass runners), and then the long, happy dessert (the charity runners and the party). The whole day is a feast.
So, set your alarm for 8:30 AM on that Sunday. Whether you’re on the sofa with pajamas or standing excitedly in the crowd, you’re in for a treat. Just don’t be like Dave. Know the time, and you’ll be part of one of London’s most glorious, sweaty, and joyful traditions.
