As any wise marathon runner knows, getting the right food into your system is as important as a thorough training programme. Stocking up on carbohydrates prior to the big race is absolutely key if you are to perform to your very best.

To help you build up the energy to race for the line, or to cheer on your friends and family, allow a little time to enjoy your carbo loading.

This year we are offering advance purchased Tickets on line to help speed up the serving process so more runners can enjoy the service. The meal includes: Barilla pasta pot with a choice of sauce, Mixed leaf Salad with choice of dressing, bread, Pure Life water, MOMA yogurt and a Pink Lady® apple. All for the incredible price of £6 per head for advance tickets (£7 on the day). The Pasta Party meal deal is the perfect preparation for Race Day - plenty of carbs, vitamins and of course water all enjoyed while you watch the activities on the Virgin stage.

After you have been through Registration and picked up your running bib, activated your Chip and wandered round the countless stands and attractions, take some time out at the Pasta Party, relax before the big day and enjoy a great value pasta meal deal and enjoy the stage presentations on the Virgin Stage.

Pink Lady

Pink Lady® apples are so much more than just another apple, in the same way as the Virgin London Marathon is not just another marathon. They are both very special.

It takes a lot of time and effort to grow Pink Lady® to taste so good and only those apples that make the grade can be called Pink Lady®. It's not unlike being a marathon runner - months of hard work, care and support which delivers the satisfaction of a job well done and a medal to prove it.

Pink Lady® Apples supporting you and the 2010 Virgin London Marathon.

All our ingredients are 100% natural and healthy: wholegrain oats for steady energy, probiotic yogurt for healthy insides, fresh fruit for a brighter mind and body.

So with one of the biggest challenges of your life and 26 miles, 385 yards ahead, don’t settle for anything less than the best breakfast. Good Luck!
