The London Marathon is best recognised for being a popular long-distance running event held in the British capital.
Since the event began in 1981, the event has well and truly gone from strength to strength.
More and more people are taking up the challenge of running the marathon every year.
Some are known to take the run seriously, whereas others are purely there to get dressed up and have a right old laugh!
This year’s marathon was held on Sunday 22nd April 2018 in the city.
Many people opted to run in the event for charities or just for personal achievement.
