London
The London Marathon is a landmark race for so many of us. Whether we enter the ballot, run for a charity, or just look forward to watching it from the sofa, the race holds a special place in runners’ hearts. The elite athletic performances are always mesmerising, while the sheer volume of runners fundraising for charity is utterly humbling. And all this with a backdrop of Tower Bridge, too. Yes, there are countless marathons to choose from, but if you’re going to run just one, this might be the one you aim for. But we guarantee that a day after you finish it (or maybe two days) you’ll be signing up to your next one!
