2015 London Marathon - RACE RESULTS, Runner Info, & More

See links for must-know London Marathon information below.

For most runners, Sunday's London Marathon will be a major milestone in their lives. For British distance-running legend Paula Radcliffe, it will mark the end of her professional running career.

[UPDATE: 2015 London Marathon results posted.]

As for the rest of the thousands of runners, here are some links to must-know details you'll want to refer to to plan for the race and for helping your friends and family see you (and find you) on race day, April 26th.

• runner information including final instructions, travel to the start, picking up your race packet, post-race procedure, and more
• London Marathon frequently asked questions
• road closures (PDF file)
• spectator information, including downloadable maps of various sections of the course marked with the best viewing spots
• latest news on the London Marathon, including what elite athletes are looking to win
• race results page (for now it shows 2014 results, but check back on race day to see if it shows current times). We'll post updated results as we find them, as well as runner tracking info

The 41-year-old Radcliffe set the women's world record for the marathon more than a decade ago, and it's a mark that still stands. But she won't be running her final London Marathon up with the elite athletes, however. Having been hobbled by injuries the last few years, she'll be running the race among the masses. For a runner who's been an inspiration to so many female athletes, especially in Great Britain, it seems a fitting way to go out.

Good luck to all runners, of all paces and abilities, in Sunday's London Marathon!
