Accessibility
There are five dedicated accessible viewing areas throughout the London Marathon course which will have an accessible toilet, as well as a lower barrier for better visibility for a wheelchair user. You can find the locations of the dedicated accessible viewing areas on the London Marathon Spectator Guide. These operate on a first-come first-serve basis.
If you have a Grandstand ticket, there is an accessible viewing area that can be used on the day.
Post Race Reception
Our fantastic Whizz Kidz team will be waiting near the finish line, on Pall Mall, with a minibus to take you to our Post Race Reception. The minibus can take up to 16 people at a time and is available for our runners with space for a manual wheelchair. If there is additional space, friends and family are welcome to use the minibus. We are aiming for pick ups every 15 minutes from the finish line.
