PRINCE Harry will present trophies to the winners of Sunday’s Virgin London Marathon.
The prince, who became patron of the London Marathon Charitable Trust this year, will hand trophies to the first three finishers in the men’s and women’s races, and those in the men’s and women’s wheelchair events.
He will also present prizes to winners in the Virgin Money Giving Mini London Marathon. The event involves young runners aged 11 to 17 from across the country in races over the final three miles of the course.
Joint race director David Bedford said: “We are delighted to have Prince Harry with us to present awards to our runners this year.
“Prince Harry is a great supporter of the event and it is especially fitting to have a royal presence during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year.”
At 9.45am, Sir Steve Bullock, mayor of the London Borough of Lewisham, will set off runners at the green start and Jim Gillman, mayor of the London Borough of Greenwich, will start those at the red start.
A total of 36,000 runners have registered.
