The 2026 London Marathon had a world-record 59,800+ finishers and raised £87.5 million for charity in a single day.
Hamid Vaghefian, Communities and DEI Director at London Marathon Events, joins Xavier Wiggins to talk about the second finish line that stays open until midnight, why the marathon is going two days in 2027, where the profits go, and how to make running look like the city it runs through.
