FAQs

Can I create a scheduled Runwiv run from the London Marathon route?

Yes. Once imported, the guide links to a real Runwiv route that can be used for scheduled runs and route-based sessions.

Is this the official London Marathon website?

No. This is a Runwiv route guide and it should always be cross-checked with the official organiser site.

Why does the guide mention Greenwich and Blackheath starts?

The official course uses multiple start areas that merge early in the race before the main route continues through London.
