How do you keep tabs on a moving target?
www.timeout.comHere’s the latest on London Marathon tracking.
- What’s happening now: Real-time tracking and live updates are widely available for the London Marathon via official channels (app and website) and through major media outlets. Expect live positions, 5K splits, and finish-time estimates as runners pass timing mats throughout the course.[3][4]
- How to follow a specific runner: Use the official London Marathon app and website. You can add runners by name or bib number and receive near real-time updates at 5K checkpoints, plus predicted finish times if pace is sufficient.[4][3]
- Where to watch or read live coverage: Live streams, text updates, and finish-line coverage are typically provided on the official broadcaster’s platforms and the marathon site, with additional live reports from outlets like Timeout and major UK news sites.[1][6][3]
If you’d like, I can narrow this to the exact race day (this Sunday, April 26, 2026) and the specific tracking options (app, website, or third-party trackers) and give you direct links. Also tell me which runner you’re following (name or bib number) and I’ll tailor the tracking steps.
