For most runners it is the spectators and entertainers around the Flora London Marathon course that help to keep them on the move. Crowds of around one million line the 26.2 miles offering shouts of encouragement and congratulations. Pubs on the route link up with charities to provide their own entertainment for spectators and runners alike. The festival atmosphere is added to by an array of bands and street entertainers - the Race offers something for everyone, young and old, running or not running - it is a 26. 2 mile long street party.
