The 2023 London Marathon was the 43rd running of the annual London Marathon on 23 April 2023. It was the first time since 2019 that the event was run in the spring, as the previous three races were run in autumn due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In August 2021, race organisers confirmed that the 2023 event would take place on 23 April; the 2020, 2021 and 2022 events were all held in autumn due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [1] The winners of the elite events received $55,000, and prizes were given to the top 10 finishers. The total prize money for each elite event was $313,000. [2] The prize money for the winners of the wheelchair races was increased by $10,000 to $45,000, with total prize money for each wheelchair event increased from $199,500 to $253,500. [2] [3]

For the first time, competitors in the mass participation event could register as non-binary; [4] there was no elite event for non-binary competitors. [5] 118 non-binary competitors signed for the race. [6] There was a virtual marathon held on the same date as the in-person event. [7] In the United Kingdom, the races were broadcast on BBC One, [8] and it was broadcast in 197 countries. [6]

Course

The marathon distance was officially 42.195 kilometres (26.219 mi) long as sanctioned by World Athletics. [9] The London Marathon was run over a mainly flat course, starting in Blackheath. [10] The course began at three separate points and they converged just before 3 miles (4.8 km) into the race. [11] At just after 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) into the race, the runners reached the 19th-century clipper Cutty Sark docked in Greenwich [12] and at about halfway into the race, the runners crossed Tower Bridge [13] before heading east into Shadwell and Canary Wharf. [10] After winding through Canary Wharf, the route returned through Shadwell on the other side of the road to which it entered before passing through Tower Hill. [13] The runners entered the underpass in Blackfriars before running along the Thames Embankment, past Westminster and onto Birdcage Walk. [13] [10] The course then ran parallel to St James's Park before turning onto The Mall and finishing in front of Buckingham Palace. [13] [10]
