Eilish McColgan and Angus Leckonby prepare for TCS London Marathon debuts

The pair met at the London Marathon Community Track to chat about Marathon Day and Special Olympics GB.

On Sunday 27 April, Special Olympics GB athlete Angus Leckonby will attempt to become the youngest and fastest male with an intellectual disability to complete a marathon.

Joining him on the Start Line of the 2025 TCS London Marathon will be athletics superstar Eilish McColgan, who is following in the footsteps of her mum, Liz, who won the event in 1996. 

Eilish was recently appointed the first Athletics Ambassador for Special Olympic GB and she caught up with Angus to chat about the organisation and look ahead to their 26.2-mile challenge.
