Due to the large volume of runners, some 36,000, there are three starting points eventually congregating after a mile to complete the rest of the journey together. The route traverses across lots of boroughs and takes in some icon London landmarks and bridges. This is a well-supported race with thousands flocking to the streets to cheer on elites and runners alike.<\/p>\n<table width=\"365\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\"><strong>Place overall<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"123\"><strong>Name<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"83\"><strong>HALF<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"73\"><strong>FINISH<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\">2068<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Steve Rumsey<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">01:29:16<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">02:59:53<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\">8425<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Matt Fletcher<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">01:54:39<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">03:39:29<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\">13613<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Tim Keyte<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">01:57:49<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">03:58:10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\">22708<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Nicola Thompson<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">02:07:21<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">04:32:44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\">23346<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Claire Harvey<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">02:09:55<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">04:35:12<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\">30102<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Mike Berry<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">02:10:58<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">05:05:26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"87\">34862<\/td>\n<td width=\"123\">Tracy Pole<\/td>\n<td width=\"83\">02:38:04<\/td>\n<td width=\"73\">05:41:19<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/isleofwightroadrunners.net\/?attachment_id=1240\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1240\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1240\" src=\"http:\/\/isleofwightroadrunners.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/london-1-1024x676.jpg\" alt=\"london\" width=\"474\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isleofwightroadrunners.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/london-1-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/isleofwightroadrunners.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/london-1-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isleofwightroadrunners.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/london-1-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/isleofwightroadrunners.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/london-1.jpg 1077w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 35th\u00a0edition of the London Marathon was held yesterday.
