The course planned for the Paralympic Marathon also has four laps which are nearly identical to the 2012 Olympic Marathon course, but avoids certain cobbled areas – notably Paternoster Square, the Guildhall Yard, Leadenhall Market and the Monument. The start and finish lines on The Mall are separated.
