Not everyone can make it to London to show their support for the hard-working runners tackling the 26-mile London Marathon, especially with the weekend rail strikes making it even harder. But fear not, there is still a way for you to show your support from the comfort of your own home. The BBC is broadcasting full coverage of the London Marathon throughout the morning and afternoon, allowing you to stay warm and watch the action unfold.

The broadcast on BBC One kicks off at 8.30am with Gabby Logan leading discussions with the runners gearing up for the marathon. The coverage includes the elite races where top athletes will aim to outperform their personal bests. Joining Logan are reporters Steve Brown, JJ Chalmers, and Jeanette Kwakye, with commentary provided by Andrew Cotter, Steve Cram, and Paula Radcliffe.

For those interested in tracking a participant in the race, the London Marathon tracker app provides a user-friendly interface. Simply head to the ‘Tracking’ section, search for the runner by name or bib number, and track their progress along the route. Enabling GPS allows for more accurate tracking of the runner’s position. The app also offers expert tips, updates on the Elite Leaderboard, and access to race results.

So grab a cup of tea, cozy up on the couch, and tune in to watch the London Marathon coverage from 8.30am to 2pm on BBC One and iPlayer. It’s a great way to show your support for the runners and be part of this exciting event without leaving your home.
