Tributes will be paid to 2023 winner Kelvin Kiptum, a world record could be set and famous faces will take to the start line in Sunday's London Marathon.
Kenya's world record holder Kiptum died in a road accident in his home country at the age of 24 in February.
Alongside video and spoken tributes before the start, participants will be invited to join in applause for Kiptum, who won last year's men's race in a course record two hours one minute 25 seconds.
"I don't think the world had started to know him. What we will be doing is celebrating him," race organiser Hugh Brasher told BBC Sport.
