Where to watch the London Marathon 2023
The London Marathon is not just any marathon. It is a 42 km street party in the city of London, one of the biggest sporting events of this month and a competition that is followed all over the world.
London Marathon runners range from beginners to professional athletes, and even some celebrities such as Gordon Ramsey, Ronan Keaton and even Princess Beatrice have run in the marathon over the years.
The London Marathon is televised in more than 200 countries around the world and has been sponsored by Virgin Money since 2010.
History of the London Marathon
Since it was first held in 1981, the London Marathon has helped raise a whopping £716 million in total for charities, and holds the Guinness World Record for fundraising for charities in a single day (a record that has been broken every year for the past eight years).
The London Marathon has become such a popular event that only a fraction of the applicants are accepted: out of nearly 250,000 applications, only 40,000 people are accepted.
Some participants run for their own personal achievements, while others run to raise funds for their favorite charities, such as the British Heart Foundation and Cancer Research UK, to name just a few.
Channels and schedule of the London Marathon
In Spain we are going to broadcast the English marathon through public television. Specifically Teledeporte is the channel that will be in charge of broadcasting the men’s marathon and the time of broadcasting is already closed:
- Sunday, April 23, 2023: 10:30 a.m. to 2:10 p.m. Spanish time (Teledeporte)
By the way, the wheelchair marathon starts at 9:50 a.m. and the elite women’s race starts at 10 a.m. (we are talking about Spanish time, not English).
But, if you are not in Spain and live in an American country, here you have all the schedules you need to avoid missing the long-awaited start. And remember that you can always use a VPN to watch the marathon through other TV channels:
