The 38th annual edition of the world’s greatest marathon takes place on Sunday 22 April 2018 and will require road closures and parking restrictions in your area. More than 41,000 participants will take on the 26.2-mile course, starting at Blackheath. Advance warning signs will be displayed in affected roads in the build up to Race Day and stewards will be present on the day itself to help answer your queries. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in helping to make the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon a success. Last year’s event raised a record-breaking £61.5 million for charity, bringing the overall sum raised since the event was founded in 1981 to more than £890 million. This year’s race is aiming to raise even more. ROAD CLOSURE TIMES A short section of Shooters Hill Road will close at 06:00 to enable the installation of the Start Area gantry. Local roads in the area will then close at 07:00 to secure the race route, including: Shooters Hill Road, St John’s Park, Old Dover Road, Charlton Way, Vanbrugh Park, Charlton Road, Charlton Park Road, Charlton Park Lane and Woolwich Road (A206).
