London Landmarks Half Marathon postponed due to coronavirus outbreak

The London Landmarks Half Marathon is the latest sporting event to be postponed in light of the coronavirus outbreak.

Friday saw the 2020 London Marathon postponed until October and this year's 'LLHM' has suffered the same fate two weeks before the scheduled date.

Around 13,000 took part last year, with a further 50,000 spectators lining the streets, along a route which starts at Pall Mall, follows through the capital past the likes of the London Eye, over the Golden Jubilee Bridge, through Bank and finishing by Downing Street.

A statement read: "It is with great sadness that we confirm that the 2020 edition of the London Landmarks Half Marathon will not go ahead on Sunday 29 March 2020.

"Along with the rest of the UK, we have been closely monitoring the escalating Coronavirus situation. At a time of such uncertainty and worry, we feel that it is only right that we do not go ahead.

"We would like to say how sorry we are, and to thank everyone for your passion, enthusiasm and dedication in the lead up to the event.
