Today is the day of the London Marathon, where a large number of participants will be racing, including Russ Cook, the experienced athlete nicknamed as the 'Hardest Geezer', who had run the entire length of Africa not long ago.

On a Sunday that is expected to be dry and sunny with a temperature of 12C, over 50,000 accomplished runners and those running for a good cause will hit the streets of the city. For the first time in marathon history, the prize money will be equal for both wheelchair and non-disabled athletes.

This event has gained the attention of a jaw-dropping 578,000 individuals who threw their name in the ballot, putting it on the map as the most in-demand marathon across the planet. A slew of famous faces, including Emma Barton and Jamie Borthwick of EastEnders fame, will be participating in the race as part of a plotline that features their characters, Honey and Jay, running in remembrance of Jay's deceased partner, Lola (portrayed by Danielle Harold), who passed away from a brain tumour in 2023.

Remember Kelvin Kiptum: London Marathon Winner 2020

According to Kenenisa Bekele, a veteran Olympic track champion, Kelvin Kiptum will be remembered fondly by all marathon runners.
