London Marathon to fire out of the blocks this coming April

22/02/2012
 

On the 22nd April, thousands of runners will be taking to the streets of London, in the event we have come to know famously as the Virgin London Marathon.

The event is considered one of the ultimate achievements for thousands of people across the board of running, with everyone from seasoned professionals to amateur joggers completing the gruelling 26 mile route every year. While some take their competitive edge to the course, its also the chance for people to raise millions of pounds for charity, with thousands wearing the most ridiculous outfits you can imagine in order to improve the lives of people all over the world.

Running alongside the event will be the largest London marathon exhibition ever, held at London's Excel. It brings hundreds of exhibitors to the city, showcasing a wide variety of items products and services dedicated to the sport of running.

If you happen to be staying in one of the London hostels around the period, why not come down and give your support to the competitors? If the event gets you in the active mood, why not swing by the exhibition and get kitted out with the best gear to hit the road?
