\u201cThe unique double format will welcome 100,000 participants across the two days, all taking on the same iconic route, from Greenwich to Westminster, in what will be an unprecedented weekend of sport, charity and community celebration,\u201d London Marathon Events said on its website on Friday.<\/p>\n

The one-off format change will see racing take part on April 24-25, 2027, with the elite women racing on one day and elite men on another.<\/p>

Ballot results will be announced in early July.<\/p>\n
