Monitoring your loved ones’ progress during the marathon is made easy with a helpful app designed for this purpose. While the average completion time for most runners is a little over four hours, some may take longer, making it essential to track their performance. The Official London Marathon App by TCS provides a seamless way to stay updated on participants’ whereabouts, whether they are running in London or virtually alongside friends and family.

When you access the app, you will find various features and options on the homepage, including tracking capabilities for participants. Simply navigate to the ‘Tracking’ section, where you can search for a runner using their name or bib number. The app displays their progress along the route, and for enhanced accuracy, users can enable GPS tracking to pinpoint the runner’s exact location.

Additionally, the app offers expert advice, Elite Leaderboard updates, and real-time results to keep users informed. It is accessible for both iPhone and Android users, with downloads available on the website. Moreover, the TCS London Marathon App introduces a unique feature called the “Belief Booster,” allowing users to send motivational messages of support to participants, which may be displayed at the Finish Line gantry on The Mall upon approval.
