Before this year's race, organisers confirmed discussions are ongoing over holding a two-day event in 2027, which event director Hugh Brasher says could allow for 100,000 finishers and raise over £130m for charity.

This year's elite races feature all four defending champions, as Sabastian Sawe, Tigst Assefa, Marcel Hug and Catherine Debrunner return to defend their titles.

Britons Mahamed Mahamed, Phil Sesemann, Patrick Dever, Rose Harvey, Eilish McColgan, Jess Warner-Judd, David Weir and Eden Rainbow-Cooper will be among those hoping to star on home soil.

Four-time Olympic champion Sir Mo Farah and England's Women's Rugby World Cup winner Ellie Kildunne have the honour of officially starting the event in Greenwich Park, live on the BBC.

The course begins at Greenwich Park and ends on The Mall, where runners will cross the finishing line after passing Buckingham Palace.

The mostly flat route - there is a total elevation gain of 246 feet - takes in several other London landmarks, including Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf and Big Ben.

Last year, Ethiopia's Assefa ran a world record for a women-only field, crossing the line in two hours 15 minutes 50 seconds, while Kenya's Sawe won the men's race in 2:02:27.

The official cut-off time to complete the course is eight hours after the last runner starts at 11:30. The Mall closes at 19:30, when the finish line moves to St James's Park.
