and get set for a 40th London Marathon like no other! Thanks to the perseverance and imagination of race organisers and runners everywhere, there will, thankfully, be elite races and there will, thankfully, be mass races. The first race is the women's elite race starting shortly with the favourite being defending champion Brigid Kosgei, who is racing for the first time since breaking Briton Paula Radcliffe's world record in Chicago last year. World champion Ruth Chepngetich and 2018 London champion Vivian Cheruiyot will also be pushing her hard. Then comes the men's race at 10:15am featuring turbo-charged, record-breaking extraordinaire Eliud Kipchoge.
