This short guide explores how the London Marathon began in 1981, co founded by Chris Brasher and John Disley after being inspired by the New York City Marathon. It explains how the race got its name, why the marathon distance is 26.2 miles, and how the event has grown into one of the world’s most famous road races. From its early days to becoming a global spectacle and a record breaking charity fundraiser, the film highlights the remarkable story behind this iconic British sporting event.
