London Marathon 2020 Live Stream: The UK’s coronavirus lockdown forced the April race to be delayed for six months, and only a handful of runners, all elite, will be taking part on the official course around St James’s Park in central London.

The 45,000 other participants will run or walk a marathon (26.2 miles, or 42km) at a time and place of their choosing on Sunday, logging their progress on an app to make their time official and secure a much-revered medal. If there is an advantage, it’s that people from around UK, and across the world, can make their front door the start and finish line.

Here are some of their stories.Gill Silverthorn has had a few odd looks from people while preparing for her proxy London Marathon, which will take place along coastal paths and promenades around Penzance, Cornwall.Gill, a semi-retired shop owner who lives in Sennen Cove, laughs as she describes the facial expressions of three construction workers who saw her out running earlier this week – in her 10kg rhino costume. “They probably thought they’d had one too many beers last night,” the 60-year-old says.

While it might be a comical sight to behold, wearing the costume is no laughing matter.

“You run along holding the head still so you’re in a really difficult running style. You’re hunched over. You sort of have to crane your neck to see. And you mustn’t swing around because your head is so big that you might bash someone else on the path,” says Gill.

Gill, who has just about recovered from the blisters she got while doing 2,000 laps of her patio on the day the marathon should have gone ahead in April, will have her husband Kevin on hand to steer her around any obstacles – “pavement, bicycle, pedestrian or whatever”.

She hopes wearing the cumbersome costume will be worth it to raise awareness for Save the Rhino. “You get people coming up taking photos, the kids love it, and people [will] ask what it’s all about.”
Around the time Gill will pull her costume on on Sunday morning, Sue Flynn hopes to already be crossing the virtual finish line.

Runners must start and finish their run between 00:00 BST and 23:59 on Sunday – and Sue, 49, is setting off as the clock strikes midnight.

The manager for PricewaterhouseCoopers persuaded her five fellow runners to get the race out of the way as early as possible so that she can give her son a lift to his Army training base in Pirbright, Surrey, later that day.

She’s not daunted by the night-time excursion because she’s done plenty of miles in the dark during previous winter training sessions with her local club, Coulsdon Runners. Sue and her fellow club runners will have an afternoon nap on Saturday, a big meal at 18:00 BST, and then set off, at a safe distance from each other, at midnight.
