Trip Overview
The classic London marathon route through the heart of the capital city. Walk (or run) a marathon distance through London's most iconic landmarks — from Greenwich to the Mall, past Tower Bridge, along the Embankment, and finishing within sight of Buckingham Palace. This is the same route used by the famous London Marathon, experienced at your own pace. Whether you're training for the running marathon or simply want the achievement of completing 26.2 miles through the capital, this is an unforgettable day.
Who is this for?
A flat marathon walk suitable for most fitness levels with adequate training. The route is on good paths and roads throughout. Easier than most of our marathon treks due to the completely flat terrain.
