To determine the schedule for the first two-day London Marathon, elite champions Catherine Debrunner and Sabastian Sawe played rock, paper, scissors to choose their race days. Debrunner won, meaning the men's elite races will take place on Saturday, 24 April, with the women's races following on Sunday. This unique format allows organisers to expand the event to 100,000 participants and provide more focus on the elite fields.
