London Marathon joins TikTok, the world’s fastest-growing social media platform
Exactly forty years after the first-ever edition of the event, the Virgin Money London Marathon has today launched its official TikTok account, @LondonMarathon.
The account will tell the stories of our incredible runners, offer exclusive content, challenges and put a new spin on some memorable London Marathon moments.
Penny Dain, Marketing and Communications Director for London Marathon Events, said: “The anniversary of the first London Marathon is the perfect day to launch our new TikTok account and it’s a great opportunity to help bring marathon running to a new and younger audience. With millions of people already engaging with the London Marathon # on TikTok, we can’t wait to show our new followers what we’ve got planned.”
