On the weekend

What to expect during London Marathon week

Race week is an exciting build‑up to marathon day, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s happening and when.

London Marathon Running Show - 21-24 April 2027

This is where you’ll collect your official race number ahead of marathon day. The Running Show is also a great chance to soak up the atmosphere, browse the latest running gear, and ask any last‑minute questions. We’ll be there too, so do come and say hello!

NAS pasta party - April 2027

Time to carb‑load! We’ll be hosting a free pasta party exclusively for National Autistic Society runners. It’s a relaxed opportunity to fuel up, meet fellow runners, and get into the marathon mindset.

The London Marathon - Sun 25 Apr 2027

It’s race day! 🎉 Your official start time and start location are usually shared by the London Marathon around one month before the event. We’ll be cheering you on with National Autistic Society cheer points along the route to help keep you motivated. Exact locations will be shared closer to the day.

Post-race reception - Sun 25 Apr 2027

After you cross the finish line, join us at our post‑race reception near the finish area. It’s a chance to relax, refuel with hot food, enjoy a complimentary massage, and celebrate your achievement with friends, family, and fellow runners.
