How many people run in the London marathon?

To raise money for charity's that need the money for equipment etc.

It's considered as the biggest marathon in the world... 32'000 who reached the finish - sorry, not really the answer... but if you consider furthermore those who go to help there... it certainly...

Martin Lel running it in 2:05:15, Abderrahim Goumri in 2:05:30, Sammy Wanjiru in 2:05:24, Ryan Hall in 2:06:17(fastest American marathoner), and a lot of other kenyan, moroccan, and ethiopian...

over 1 million. If you are wondering why so many, it is because it is where the Modern Marathon distance was decided in 1912.

This year (2010) there was a record turn out hitting the maximum number of participnats at 25,000. There were 21,532 finishers.
