Support the London Marathon runners

It's that time of year again, and as most readers will know from the scores of emails and social network updates from friends and acquaintances seeking sponsorship, the London Marathon kicks off this morning on Blackheath.


Runners will cover the usual between-26-and-27-miles, and the best place for supporters to cheer them on is probably in the vicinity of the Tower of London, where runners pass by at both roughly-13 and roughly-23 miles, and charities line up their branding to support those taking part, and get as much TV coverage as possible.
