Client and event overview
Before runners can cross one of the world's most famous finish lines, there's another important milestone to tick off: collecting their Event Pack. Our accreditation staff supported the London Marathon Running Show, helping runners prepare for the huge weekend ahead. And when thousands of people are arriving with one thing on their minds — Marathon Day — getting that process right matters.
The Journey Starts Before the Start Line
The Running Show is a huge part of the London Marathon experience, bringing runners together at ExCeL London before race day.
Participants collect the all-important Event Pack containing their bib number and timing chip, without which they can't take part in the Marathon.
Our team supported the accreditation process, welcoming runners and helping keep people moving through the experience.
There's a brilliant atmosphere to work within. For some runners it's their first marathon; for others, the latest of many. Either way, by this point the months of training are done and race day suddenly feels very real.
Accreditation Staff Who Understand the Moment
Good event accreditation needs to be organised and efficient, but that doesn't mean it has to feel transactional.
Our teams understand they're often one of the first human touchpoints attendees encounter.
