Marathoners. When you’ve finished that 26.2 miles you’ll need a slap-up meal. Here are some of the restaurants offering specials just for you. A fantastic excuse to keep that medal on for a few more hours.

I will add to this list as new offers come in – please do email me if you spot any others.

Free burgers

Present your medal at Gourmet Burger Kitchen and get a free burger – while your support crew will get a free beer. Vegetarians can get a meat-free burger.

Free fizz

Free glass of bubbly for medal-holders when they dine from the three course a la carte menu (£37.50) at Roast. London Bridge, so not too far to stagger from the finish. And to be honest, you’ve earned four courses at least.

Free dim sum

The Royal China group is offering a free dim sum dish for anyone presenting their marathon medal at one of its six London restaurants (Baker Street, Bayswater, Fulham, Harrow-on-the-Hill and Canary Wharf).
