TCS London Marathon

London Marathon 2026

Marathon Day with Apple Music

Apple Music turns a key stretch of the TCS London Marathon route into a high-energy cheer zone, with notable artists and DJs soundtracking runners as they push toward the finish. Expect a party-like burst of live music right on the course — great for spectators who want a lively spot to watch, and for runners who thrive on a mid-race boost. Off the road, Apple Music’s marathon-weekend listening continues with exclusive, event-curated playlists (including a seven-hour training-and-race soundtrack), plus race-day DJ mixes released on Apple Music after the finishers come through. **Good to know** - This is an on-course activation, so exact positioning can shift — plan to arrive early and be ready to move along the route. - Expect crowds and road closures; public transport is the easiest way to reach the course. - Dress for changeable spring weather and bring hearing protection for kids if sensitive to loud music.

Apple London Marathon 2026

Apple’s marathon-week hub at Apple Brompton Road mixes practical prep with a little star power. The Thursday programme pairs a live inspiration panel—hosted by Apple Fitness+ trainer Cory Wharton-Malcolm and featuring Joe Wicks, Hellah Sidibe, Dora Atim, Becky Briggs, and Sherica Holmon—with a relaxed 5K shakeout run in Hyde Park. Later in the week, Paula Radcliffe and Chris Thompson bring their “Paula’s Run Club” podcast in-store to talk training, race-day mindset, and how tech fits into the build-up to London Marathon 2026. On race day, Apple also pops up on-course with an Apple Music activation for spectators and runners. **Good to know** - Both in-store sessions are listed as free, with limited capacity—arriving early is sensible. - The Thursday event includes an outdoor 5K; running kit and weather-ready layers are worth bringing. - Apple’s on-course Apple Music moment is a separate race-day stop from the Brompton Road store events.
