Gear Up for Glorious Viewing: Your Guide to Watching the 2023 London Marathon
There are multiple ways to witness the sweat, the tears, and the questionable race-day outfit choices (because who can resist a good themed costume?). So, grab your snacks of choice (because, let's face it, watching people run for hours requires sustenance), settle in, and get ready to be amazed!
Channel Surfing Champions:
- BBC One and BBC Two: These are your classic British telly options, offering coverage from dawn till...well, not quite dusk, but you get the idea. Expect expert commentary, interviews, and maybe even a glimpse of the Royal Family cheering on the runners (or perhaps placing bets on who will trip first...one can only dream). Bonus: They also have live streams on BBC iPlayer, so you can catch specific sections of the race or see if you can spot yourself cheering from the sidelines!
For the Digitally Savvy:
Tip: Patience makes reading smoother.
- FloTrack: This subscription-based streaming service offers the full enchilada, with live coverage of the entire race, from the wheelchair athletes to the elite runners and the masses of enthusiastic amateurs. It's like having your own personal front-row seat (without the, you know, actual effort of getting there).
Social Butterfly? We Got You:
- The TCS London Marathon YouTube Channel and Social Media: They might not have the full live stream, but you can still get your London Marathon fix with race highlights, interviews, and some truly inspirational stories from the participants.
Because Sometimes You Just Want to See People Trip (We Won't Judge):
- YouTube: Let's be real, the internet is a treasure trove of random videos, and the London Marathon is no exception. You might find funny fan reactions, epic slow-motion falls (don't worry, they're usually okay!), or even heartwarming moments of triumph. Just be prepared for some questionable camerawork (think: shaky phone footage from an enthusiastic but slightly tipsy spectator).
Remember: While the 2023 race may be over, you can always use these tips to prepare for catching the 2024 marathon (because who doesn't love a good excuse to spend the day on the couch?).
Tip: Reading in chunks improves focus.
