London Marathon 2020

The 2020 London Marathon has become another victim of the Covid 19 Pandemic.  This event, however, has already rearranged and set a new date for the race.

If the pandemic is over the London Marathon will take on Sunday October the 4th.

The event was postponed before BBC London had finalised plans so I can’t tell you what the plan was for the BBC Bus and Radio London however in past years we have been based on the isle of dogs with a presenter and a few reports and we have anchored the show from there.
