The Westin Way to Marathon Day: Wellness Meets the London Marathon
30 April 2025
Marathon mornings in London carry a special kind of energy – a buzz of anticipation and excitement fills the air. Sunday, 27 April was no exception. It marked the start of something truly memorable as The Westin London City stepped into Marathon Mode, kicking off the London Marathon festivities with an energising 5K community run, bringing together runners of all levels to share the spirit of wellness and a road ahead.
The morning didn’t end at the finish line. Following the run, guests gathered for an exclusive nutrition planning session led by our inspiring runWestin Ambassador, @therunnerbeans — also known as Charlie, an NHS dietitian and seasoned marathoner. With her expert guidance, participants learned how to optimise performance through smart fuelling strategies, hydration planning, and that all-important carb loading.
At The Westin London City, wellbeing is more than a promise – it’s a philosophy woven into every guest experience. In the spirit of marathon season, the hotel introduced a thoughtful lineup of events and amenities tailored not only for runners but also for their biggest supporters. From pre-race sessions led by seasoned experts to post-run recovery offerings, each element was designed to support every stage of the marathon journey. Whether it’s fine-tuning the fuelling strategy or winding down after the finish line, The Westin London City ensured participants are in peak condition for race day.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us. Your energy and enthusiasm made it a memorable start to the season.
