The full Olympic route was thus from Windsor, via Eton, Slough, Langley, Uxbridge, Ickenham, Ruislip, Harrow, Sudbury, Wembley, Willesden, and Wormwood Scrubs, to White City Stadium.
For the official Trial Marathon on 25 April 1908, the start was from Queen Victoria's statue in Windsor on 'The Long Walk' - a magnificent avenue leading up to Windsor Castle in the grounds of Windsor Great Park.
