London Marathon Applications Hit Record Levels for the 2027 Race

London Marathon Applications Hit Record Levels for the 2027 Raceの基本情報から最新動向までを一挙に解説しました。

For those of us who didn’t apply—or who wisely decided that “running 26.2 miles” sounds like a typo for “running to the chip shop”—the record applications are actually great news. It means more road closures, more people in spandex screaming at strangers for a high-five, and more inspiring stories of triumph over sensible life choices. You can watch from your sofa, eating crisps, and feel a smug sense of superiority.

And if you’re one of the applicants waiting with bated breath? Here’s a surprising fact: the average London Marathon volunteer gets three times as many high-fives as participants because they can stand there all day. So maybe, while you wait for 2027, consider volunteering. It’s cheaper than the entry fee, you get a free jacket, and you won’t have to run past a mile marker that looks like a billboard for your own regret. Good luck—you’ll need it more than a squirrel in a treadmill.
