How to watch the 2019 London Marathon

Pick up strong coffee and tasty breakfast supplies for Sunday morning because it’s going to be an early one. April 28 is the Virgin Money London Marathon and the men’s and women’s fields are stacked. This is a race you’re going to want to watch real time, which means a 4:00 a.m. EDT wake up call to catch the elite wheelchair start. And if you’re on the west coast, an all-nighter might even be preferred over a 1 a.m. start time.
