Walking the London Marathon
We are following (as close as we can - we can't arrange road closures!) the route of the London Marathon. It is obviously a long long way but feel free to start the walk and drop out when you want to - there is no pressure on reaching the end
Short breaks and lunch are factored into the timings - but the majority of the time will be walking - expect a walking pace of a little over 3 miles an hour
As a rough gauge - key landmarks are Cutty Sark (6 miles), Tower Bridge (12 miles), Canary Wharf (18 miles) London Eye (25 miles). It is also worth highlighting that the route isn't scenic - it has to go along main roads as for the actual marathon it isn't a small group of people doing the route - it is 50k!
And before anybody asks - the distance will be more than 26.2 miles - we have to allow extra to get from the meeting point to the start...
This is a no dog walk
