Organisers have confirmed that next year's event will also take place in October, for the third successive year
Whether you’ve got a place already, are hopeful runner or just love to watch, here’s a date for next year’s diary: Sunday 2nd October 2022. That’s when the TCS London Marathon will be happening, taking place for a third year in October.
The move is due to COVID-19, with organisers hoping for lifted gathering and travel restrictions by October next year. “The London Marathon is an extraordinary and unique celebration of the family of humankind coming together,” says Event Director Hugh Brasher.
“We believe that by moving the 2022 event to October we give ourselves the best chances of welcoming the world to the streets of London, enabling tens of millions to be raised for good causes and giving people the certainty that their hard work and training will allow them to experience the amazing crowds cheering them on every step of the way.”
And beyond 2022? Hugh says that the event will return to its traditional slot in April 2023.
Organisers have also confirmed the deferral process for those who would like to defer their 2021 place to the new date. It all depends on the year that your original marathon place was for, as well as what type of place you had – for full details, click here.
