The London marathon ( I am watching it on TV as I type this !) starts on Blackheath in SE London. It is run over 26 miles 385 yards. This distance has nothing to do with Phidipides & the battle of Marathon. It was the distance run from Windsor to White city in the London Olympics in 1908.
Only one! Runners cross Tower Bridge just before the halfway point.They do, however, run past eight other bridges including London Bridge, Waterloo Bridge and Westminster Bridge.
