| What Date Is London Marathon 2025 |
Buckle Up, Because Here Comes... April 27th, 2025!
That's right, folks, mark your calendars, set phone reminders, carve it on a stick if you must – the 2025 London Marathon takes place on Sunday, April 27th. Now, you might be thinking, "April? That feels like a lifetime away!" Well, you're not wrong. But hey, that just gives you more time to:
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
- Perfect your "jogging nonchalantly while secretly dying" face.
- Stockpile enough energy gels to fuel a small rocket ship.
- Convince your friends and family that cheering you on for hours is their moral obligation.
But Wait, There's More!
Here are some extra tidbits to keep your pre-marathon fire burning:
- The ballot for official entry is closed. So, unless you have a time machine or some serious connections, this year's all about running for a charity.
- Training tip: Don't underestimate the power of a good playlist. Eye of the Tiger might be a clich�, but it gets the job done (just maybe avoid Baby Shark... for everyone's sake).
- Prepare for the unexpected. British weather is a fickle beast, so pack for sunshine, rain, snow (okay, maybe not snow, but you get the idea).
