Thomas David Hall decided to run in a lifeguard costume, and was the second person to finish the race.

After last year's marathon taking place in October 2022, the 43rd edition of the event returned to its traditional spring race on 23 April 2023. This marked the second in-person London Marathon after the pandemic, following last year’s Virgin Money London Marathon 2021.
