When is London 2021 Virgin Marathon?
Sunday, October 3, 2021, would be the day the London Virgin Marathon would take place. The elite field names have been released and it is an extremely fast field. A lot of postponed Marathons from spring and the Marathons that were affected by the Olympics would be held in Fall 2021. Marathon is a distance which an elite athlete would not consider overdoing in a year so the field would be short in most of the marathons.
There would be 7 men featured in the London Marathon with a PB of Sub 2:04:00. What a coincidence, the women’s field would also feature 8 women with a PB of Sub 2:20:00. Of course, Eliud Kipchoge would be missing given the fact that he has already run two marathons this year which kind of completes his quota for a year.
