London Marathon 2022: See some of our favourite costumes
- Published

About 42,000 runners embarked on the 26.2-mile run from Greenwich to The Mall - some donning fancy dress costumes like this Spider-man!

This man took on the race wearing a bright red post box featuring the King's new cypher.

Hopefully this ice-cream themed runner was able to get some of the real thing to help cool off after the race.

There was no monkeying around for this runner...who had a gorill-orious finish!

Shrek had come a long from his swamp days to take part in this years race.

Hopefully this runner had a teddy bear's picnic they were able to join afterwards.

Could there be any cuter costume for this runner who is supporting the Guide Dogs charity? We think not!

This runner wasn't leaving anyone in any doubt about what charity he was running in support of!

Hopefully there was also a Mr Potato Head at the finish line to celebrate with this costumed runner.

It looks like Christmas can't come early enough for this runner.
