It gets underway at 10am today
Isle of Man runners will now be making their final preparations for the 2023 London Marathon which gets underway this morning (23 April).
Manx competitors will take on the iconic route with thousands of others with some having competitive goals in mind and others taking on the challenge for an important cause.
Island athlete Dawn Atherton is taking part in the event with her sister, Charlotte, who is taking on the marathon for the first time charity.
Ahead of the marathon, Dawn agreed the event is a good way to unite people taking part for all sorts of different reasons:
Rugby: Bevan Rodd on bench for England's opening Six Nations match
MGP 26: A new Quayle set for the start line
Football: Douglas Royal face Peel in Floodlit Cup Final clash
Hockey: Three wins for Island sides in England Championships
