The TCS London Marathon is poised to potentially break the record for the world's largest marathon, with a record number of participants including celebrities and those with personal stories. Among the attendees are the youngest runner, Lucy Jones, and the oldest, aged 84, from the US. Notable figures include six 'ever present' runners and participants like David Stancombe who are fundraising in memory of their daughters. Celebrity Tony Audenshaw returns after several years, honoring his late wife. These stories add significant emotional context to the event, enhancing its community spirit.
