For several months we are knowing athletes who run in the Olympic marathon in London, both female and male category, 5 andAugust 12 respectively.

It is my intention, within my means, write about them, references and information, from each marathon runner before the Olympics.

This will be the central post. I will update with the names of athletes who are selected by their national federations and, when I'll publish the post with the information of each of them, will link from here.

Of course, This text will be open to you, through your comments, here or in each personal profile, to add information, news or comments.

The LOC announced that the marathon would not leave or arrive at the Olympic Stadium. Finally the change with the departure and arrival of the Olympic epic proof will be next to Buckingham Palace.

I link below the plane of the marathon circuit in 2012. The route, like in the last championships to promote the enjoyment of spectators and the question of logistics and security, will star with a small opening lap round the park next to Buckingham Palace and then do three laps over 12km ( 8 miles) that will take us through the hub and commercial center of London City.
