The start of the Flora London Marathon is on Blackheath Common and Greenwich Park, with the route as a whole designed to follow the Thames as closely as possible. The finish is in the heart of the capital and goes past Buckingham Palace and down The Mall. The course is relatively flat and it was host to Paula Radcliffe's World record breaking run in 2003 as well as her non-pace setter world record in 2005
