You Did It! Now Where's the Proof? Finding Your Glorious London Marathon Time
Congratulations, superstar! You've conquered the London Marathon, dodged rogue pigeons (hopefully), and high-fived a bewildered Beefeater at Buckingham Palace. Now, amidst the post-race euphoria (and the serious need for a lie-down), you might be wondering: where on earth is my official finish time?
Fear not, weary warrior! Finding your triumphant time is easier than remembering where you stashed all those energy gels. Here's your trusty guide:
The Digital Dashboard: Official TCS London Marathon Website and App
- Website: Head to the TCS London Marathon website's results section - it's like a virtual victory lap! There, you can search for your time using your name, bib number, or that snazzy nickname you used to register (Speedy McRunnerface, anyone?).
- App: Download the official London Marathon app (available for both iPhone and Android). This nifty app lets you search for results, relive the race route (virtually, of course!), and maybe even crack a smile at a photo of yourself looking surprisingly determined at mile 18 (because let's be honest, by then it's all about willpower).
Bonus Tip: Feeling social? Share your epic finish time on social media! Tag the London Marathon and use some celebratory hashtags (#LondonMarathonConqueror #Sub4HourDreamsDoComeTrue).
Tip: Look for small cues in wording.
