The 45th edition
Celebrating Chris Finill: the journey of running every London Marathon since 1981
Chris is one of six Ever Presents: a group of people who have run all 44 editions of the London Marathon since the first event in 1981
The Harrow Athletic Club member has been running competitively for 51 years and is busy preparing for the 2025 TCS London Marathon on Sunday 27 April.
As part of our celebrations to mark this historic 45th edition, we caught up with the 66-year-old to ask about his memories of that special day in 1981, being an Ever Present, and how our event has become such an important part of his life.
