The Running Show will be open from the Wednesday before the marathon, until the Saturday. Dates and times will be added here in due course.

OCD-UK Cheer Spot
The OCD-UK team will once again host a cheer spot somewhere around the London Marathon course. If you’ve got friends and family cheering you on, they’re more than welcome to join us at one of our cheer points. We’re easy to spot in our bright orange t-shirts.
We will also be recruiting volunteers to join us on the day to make lots of noise for all the OCD-UK and other charity runners.
