The London Marathon will take place in early October in 2022 instead of its traditional date, April for the third straight year.
The 2021 edition is scheduled for October 3, 2021 while the 2022 race will be held on October 2.
This year’s race will have competitors return to the old street route from Greenwich to The Mall, a departure from last year that had athletes run laps of St James’s Park.
Organisers added that up to 50,000 participants have the choice of completing the distance of 26.2 miles on a course of their choice anywhere in the world.
Ethiopian Shura Kitata won the men’s title last year, while Kenya’s Brigid Kosgei defended her women’s title.
