How can I track runners at the London Marathon?


The Virgin Money London Marathon app allows users to track specific runners and see the leaderboard for the whole race.


It boasts a variety of exciting features and lets you find and track participants along the race route, helping you to keep up with split times, finishing positions and results throughout the day.



You can see their progress at every 5k split and track their pace. The app will also predict what time your runner will reach the next 5k checkpoint based on their current pace.


The app is available on iOS and Android.
