The London Marathon is one of the great spectacles in British sport, with over 50,000 runners set to descend on the capital.

A wonderful blend of elite athletes, amateur runners and the usual spread of rhinos and fancy-dress heroes will hit the road on Sunday for the festivities.

Tragically, men's reigning champion Kelvin Kiptum passed away earlier this year, months after breaking the marathon world record in Chicago last October.

Kiptum was expected to be among the hot favourites in this edition, prior to being involved in a fatal car crash in his native Kenya. He was 24.

The women's marathon is set to be a fascinating watch, with several contenders eyeing up the women's-only marathon world record.

RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about how to watch the London Marathon live on TV in 2024.
