1st of all good luck to everyone running in it, have 2 pals that are charlton st holders, they have done very well and as a team of 6 have raised £12,000 for wheelpower, a few of us are heading up to see them and meet them after the finish, any shouts of where to go along the route near the end where you could have a pint and stand outside?.

    Dont forget the DLR strike which, if goes ahead, will hinder people getting round different parts of the route.



    The RMT has announced strike action on the DLR. This will run from 04:00 on Friday 20 April, until 03:59 on Tuesday 24 April. The strike has been called over a dispute with KeolisAmey Docklands who operate the DLR on behalf of TfL.

    Plans are being developed with the aim of operating a limited service over the four days, which coincide with the London Marathon on Sunday 22 April.

    If the strike goes ahead, extra bus services will be deployed along the DLR network over the four days. All other TfL services will be operating as usual, however there will be road closures around the London Marathon route from early Sunday morning. The Jubilee, Central, District and Hammersmith & City lines in East London are expected to be busier than usual and stations including Canary Wharf, Canada Water, London Bridge, Canning Town, Bank and Stratford may be exceptionally busy.

    Further information on what services may operate will be communicated ahead of the strike and posters, digital boards and announcements in London Underground and London Overground stations will keep customers informed of the levels of service.

    For up to date information on what services may operate, please visit tfl.gov.uk/dlr. Please check before you travel or follow us on Twitter @londondlr, @TravelAlerts , @TfLTrafficNews and @TfLBusAlerts

    I watched at Canary Wharf last year - couple of decent bars at Cabot square where you can watch and booze. - although they don’t serve alcohol between 3 - 5!!!! Apparently it kicked off a few years ago.

    Gonna be a hot one, in fact it could be the hottest London Marathon on record. Anyone running pace yourself and take on plenty of water.

    Organising asking "fun runners" to think twice about wearing costumes. Its the man in the deep sea divers outfit I'm worrying about.

    Season ticket holder here running in memory of another former season ticket holder.

    I'll fist bump Sir Chris if I see him, but suspect he'll be miles out in front!

    Good luck.
  • LouisMendLouisMend
    Rose of Denmark in Charlton is a good place to start off at - normally have a band going and not too crowded, plus easy for friends who are running to spot you at.

    Then train into town to catch them again.
  • AlwaysneilAlwaysneil
    Depends how keen you are. Since moving to greenwich 10 year ago have always lived just off the Woolwich Road, have always started there at between 5 and 6 miles, walked up to Maze Hill or Westcombe Park, get the train to Greenwich and change to DLR to Canary Wharf where you can see your runners at mile 11 and 17 and fit lunch in between.

    Jubilee line up to Westminster and a battle to see your runners close to the end.

    3rd place for Mo and British record. Did well considering the problems he had picking up his drinks.

    Chris Powell's stats so far

    http://results-2018.virginmoneylondonmarathon.com/2018/?content=detail&fpid=search&pid=search&idp=9999990F5ECC8E0000298EC7&lang=EN_CAP&event=MAS&search[name]=Powell&search[firstname]=Chris&search[nation]=%&search_sort=name&search_event=MAS

    Says it all about his fitness, that he's doing it 20-years older than I was yet is predicted to finish just 20-mins slower than what I did it in

    (In the same conditions as well)

    Well done to anyone who took part. Must have been a killer in that heat.
