Off to a running
start in the Spring of 1981, the inaugural London Marathon saw
over 6,000 jogging marathoners cross the finish line as cheering
crowds lined the route.
Since then,
the Flora London Marathon has continued to grow in size and popularity
and today averages 46,500 applicants annually.
The London
Marathon also doubles as a charity event, with hopes of raising
millions of pounds in the biggest one-day fundraiser in the UK.
In 2008, the
capital city event is scheduled to kick off on Sunday, April 13
at 9:45AM local time. Special
press coverage is also focused on 101 year-old Buster
Martin who looks to become the oldest-recorded marathoner
on the planet.
Watch and
see if see if the "golden years" runner goes for "platinum"
on April 13. Meanwhile, join millions of marathon fans to wish
Buster the best of luck!
