SEC women’s basketball tournament 2026: Bracket, schedule and odds
The depth of the SEC led to many intriguing upsets through the regular season and the excitement should only intensify in the conference tournament, which tipped off Wednesday. The SEC Women’s Basketball Tournament runs through Sunday at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Dawn Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks, the No. 1 overall seed, the No. 3 team in the country and have been the team to beat in the past decade as they have won nine of the last 11 SEC Tournaments since 2015. Their competition might be stiffer than ever this year, however.
One of the biggest questions ahead of the 2026 NCAA Tournament will be answered in Greenville as Texas and Vanderbilt are still in competition for the final No. 1 seed in March Madness. South Carolina (29-1, 15-1 in SEC) has essentially already locked one of them in after winning the SEC’s regular-season title. Unbeaten UConn and Big Ten champ UCLA have firm grips on No. 1 seeds as well. As of Sunday, the Longhorns have a slight edge over the Commodores. Texas was No. 4 and Vanderbilt was No. 5 in the NCAA’s latest top 16 reveal. That being said, the Commodores could steal it if they can make a deeper run than Texas this week.
Vanderbilt’s Mikayla Blakes could also use this tournament to make a stronger case for national Player of the Year. Her biggest competition at the moment is UConn’s Sarah Strong. The Huskies are the reigning national champions and still undefeated, but Blakes is leading the Commodores in one of the best seasons in program history. Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s Aaliyah Chavez is the strongest Freshman of the Year candidate thanks to an explosive performance in a 94-82 overtime victory over South Carolina on Jan. 22, which was the Gamecocks’ only conference loss this season.
LSU was also close to upsetting South Carolina in February but fell short. The Tigers have been a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament every year under Kim Mulkey, but they are currently projected as a No. 2. They have not won the SEC Tournament since 2003, but they did win a national championship in 2023 with now-senior Flau’jae Johnson on the roster.
The most recent NCAA top 16 reveal showed five SEC teams, and it could have been six had Ole Miss not slipped up late in the regular season. Regardless, keep an eye on the Rebels as one of the teams that could make noise in March. A winter storm displaced them for a few weeks but they still managed to beat Vanderbilt in January. Will we see more upsets in the coming week? We’ll just have to wait and find out.

After extensive quarterback theories, sponsored by fans and media members, the Minnesota Vikings landed on a double-fisted combo at quarterback next to J.J. McCarthy in 2026: Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz. That man will not be Joe Flacco, who frequented the rumor mill in the last two months. Flacco signed with the Cincinnati Bengals on Tuesday.
Cincinnati closed the door on one more Vikings-adjacent QB rumor from early in the offseason.
Flacco’s career continues to chug along, the poster of volume stats when a team’s QB1 gets hurt.
Cincinnati’s Move Ends the Flacco Theories for Another Year
Flacco returns to a familiar spot.
Flacco to CIN
It’s a reunion deal for Flacco, who wound up in Cincinnati via trade midseason when Joe Burrow missed several games.
ESPN’s Ben Bay wrote Tuesday, “Joe Flacco is coming back for another season. The 41-year-old quarterback has agreed to a one-year deal to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agent, Joe Linta, told ESPN. Sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler the contract is for $6 million, but could be worth up to $9 million with incentives.”
“Flacco began last season as the Cleveland Browns’ top quarterback. But after four starts, he was benched in favor of Cleveland rookie Dillon Gabriel. Around the same time, the Bengals needed a starting quarterback following Joe Burrow’s turf toe injury and Jake Browning’s struggles. Cincinnati sent the Browns a 2026 fifth-round pick in exchange for Flacco and a 2026 sixth-round pick. Browning signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier this offseason.”
The guy has Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers-like staying power per age.
The Las Vegas Raiders were evidently interested in Flacco, too, as Cincy Jungle‘s Anthony Cosenza noted, “Apparently, the Las Vegas Raiders were heavily interested in Flacco, with the Bengals stepping up to land the 41-year-old signal-caller. While the Bengals prioritized re-signing Flacco, they also had the understanding that he was going to search for the best offer, and one that had the potential to start.”
“While he doesn’t receive the latter in Cincinnati, he got a lucrative backup deal (one year, $6 million, worth up to $9 million) and returns to a place he seemed to have greatly enjoyed when coming over midseason.”
Resume in the NFL
Flacco joined the NFL from Round 1 in 2008 with the Baltimore Ravens and has started 201 games since. He ranks 14th all-time in passing yards and 21st in passing touchdowns. As of late, he’s morphed into a mercenary for hire, the guy called by teams when a QB1 gets hurt, and volume passing is needed.
In 18 seasons, he averages 230 passing yards per game and won a Super Bowl with the 2012 Ravens.
Here’s his destination resume:
- Baltimore Ravens (2008–2018)
- Denver Broncos (2019)
- New York Jets (2020)
- Philadelphia Eagles (2021)
- New York Jets (2021–2022)
- Cleveland Browns (2023)
- Indianapolis Colts (2024)
- Cleveland Browns (2025)
- Cincinnati Bengals (2025–now)
SI.com‘s James Rapien on the Bengals’ 2026 quarterback room: “Flacco returns to be Burrow’s backup. The Bengals also signed veteran Josh Johnson earlier this month. They have a trio of signal callers that make up arguably the best quarterback room in the NFL.”
“Burrow is one of, if not the best quarterback on the planet when he’s healthy. Flacco is a Super Bowl champion entering his 19th season. Johnson is a battle tested veteran that has bounced around the league, but has stuck around and joins Flacco as the only other quarterback from the 2008 NFL Draft that is still in the league.”
Burrow Insurance
The Bengals basically wanted another Joe in case their main Joe gets hurt. Burrow isn’t necessarily injury-prone, but compared to other Top 10 quarterbacks, he’s not far from the label. In the last three seasons, Burrow has missed one-third of all games due to injury.
Instead of trading for Flacco if something happens to Burrow in 2026 — that’s what the Bengals did last year — they simply re-signed him in March to hedge the bet.
The previous QB2 alternative was a man named Jake Browning, who began his career with the Vikings a half-decade ago. Browning turned heads in his few starts with decent performance but later fizzled and signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week.
All the Bengals FA Moves
Cincinnati has been one of the quieter teams in free agency per volume, with these newcomers and re-signings:
- Jonathan Allen (DL) MIN → CIN
- Bryan Cook (S) KC → CIN
- Joe Flacco (QB) CIN → CIN
- Boye Mafe (ED) SEA → CIN
- Josh Johnson (QB) BAL → CIN
And then men who left for new adventures:
- Tycen Anderson (S) CIN → DEN
- Jake Browning (QB) CIN → TB
- Noah Fant (TE) CIN → NO
- Geno Stone (S) CIN → BUF
- Trey Hendrickson (ED) CIN → BAL
- Marco Wilson (CB) CIN → MIA
- Joseph Ossai (ED) CIN → NYJ
- Cam Taylor-Britt (CB) CIN → IND
Flacco will turn 42 during the postseason in 2026. The Vikings are slated to play the Bengals again in 2029.
Following a stamina-testing victory in the N E Manion Cup at Rosehill, imported runner Mr Monaco has the Sydney Cup lined up as his probable upcoming assignment.
Mr Monaco ($5.50), stuck three-wide midfield throughout, dug deep with a gritty surge to repel the rapidly closing Taramansour ($31) by a long head, as Juja Kibo ($3.70 fav), from the same stable, trailed by just a half-head for third.
Trainer Ciaron Maher announced the five-year-old’s itinerary includes Sydney’s marquee staying test over two miles at Randwick next month, potentially without a lead-up race.
“We knew he’d improve up to the mile-and-a-half, but that was a strong win,” Maher said.
“Onwards to the Sydney Cup and given how well he stayed today, he’d probably nearly just line up straight after this one.”
The gelding raced early in England, arrived in Australia last year, and ended his spring series of three starts with a Caulfield victory.
Maher observed that Mr Monaco has mirrored the standard improvement curve for Euro imports and is still advancing, while expressing contentment with Juja Kibo’s third spot, the horse also Sydney Cup-bound at 3200m via Sydney Cup.
“‘Juja’ looked to have the softer run and have everything it’s way, but ‘Monaco’ had to do it the tougher way and covered a bit of ground,” he said.
“Both horses, they’re going to strip pretty well and get in with a nice weight, and both will run the two miles.”
After piloting Queensland Derby aspirant Barrengarry to success in the Midway Handicap (1500m), Zac Lloyd doubled up early courtesy of Mr Monaco, who overcame a wide starting position in the N E Manion Cup (2400m) and whose performance Lloyd rates highly for Sydney Cup prospects.
“I think that’s going to be right up his alley, considering he probably ran about 3000 (metres) today, so he’s ready to go,” Lloyd said.

PHILADELPHIA — Paul George is set to return to the Philadelphia 76ers’ lineup following a 25-game suspension for a failed drug test and play Wednesday night against Chicago.
The Sixers went 13-12 in his absence and began the day at 39-33 and in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings.
George was suspended in late January for violating the terms of the NBA’s anti-drug program.
In his first public remarks since the suspension, George apologized Tuesday to the team, its fans and his family for the poor judgment that led to his flunked test.
“To let people down hurt more than kind of anything,” George said.
He said his choice to take a banned substance was connected to a mental health issue that developed because of an offseason knee injury that limited his production this season.
“The most difficult thing is when your body isn’t where you know it needs to be or where it once was,” George said. “That leads and bleeds into the mental side of things, knowing that you’re limited. But for me, I feel good, my body is feeling great. Mentally, I know I’m capable of doing what I can do and what I’ve been able to on the court for years.”
George has averaged 16 points in 27 games this season for the Sixers. He had one of his best games of the season in the week he was suspended, a 32-point outburst fueled by nine 3-pointers in a win over Milwaukee.
The 35-year-old George signed a $212 million, four-year contract in free agency ahead of the 2024 season. But his first year in Philly was marred by knee and adductor injuries that resulted in the forward having one of the worst years of his NBA career.
The Sixers also said two-time NBA scoring champion Joel Embiid was questionable against the Bulls after he missed the last 13 games with a right oblique strain. All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey has missed nine straight games with a right finger tendon strain.

The son of former Olympic skiing star John Smart has died after he suffered injuries during an avalanche in Japan.
Kai Smart, 23, was left in a coma due to the avalanche. John Smart said in a Facebook post that Kai was taken to Vancouver, Canada, for emergency treatment earlier this month before he died on Monday.

“It is with immense sadness that we have to let you know that our kind, brave and beautiful son and brother Kai is no longer with us. We are beyond heartbroken and there are no words to describe the pain we are feeling losing him so young,” John Smart wrote on Facebook.
He remembered his son as an adventurer who lived life to the fullest.
“Kai was a warrior, a mountain man, an explorer of the world, a lover of people of all walks of life, an inspiration to so many, an honor student, a passionate skier, surfer, dirt biker, climber, kitesurfer and so much more … He lived life to the fullest every single day, with joy, curiosity, and intensity, and experienced more in his short time than most do in a lifetime. He truly was a bright light, and his energy — his excitement for life and for learning — touched everyone who knew him,” the post continued.

Smart wrote that Kai’s organs were donated to four people.

The skilled filly My Gladiola, under trainer John McArdle, makes her Flemington return targeting a stakes score on the straight course.
In Saturday’s Listed VRC Sprint Classic (1100m), My Gladiola looks to break through for a win after two starts on the Flemington straight this season.
McArdle hasn’t shaken off the poor Newmarket Handicap result, as My Gladiola, the $4.80 co-favourite, trailed in tenth behind winner Caballus without firing.
Her March 7 Group 1 clash at 1200m against veteran sprinters was the first without jockey Jamie Mott in a career of 10 outings, featuring two wins and six placings.
McArdle described the Newmarket as finished before it began at the jump.
“She came out of the run no problems, but it was a complete disaster from the start,” McArdle said.
“We’ve just got to forget it happened and we start again.
“It was looking good leading up to the race, but as soon as they jumped it all went pear-shaped, but she came through it well, which is the main thing.
“A half-million-dollar race down the straight over 1100 metres, it should be ideal for her.
“We’ll lick our wounds and go back and have another go.”
With 56.5kg Saturday, Mott reclaims the ride on My Gladiola after her 50.5kg in the Newmarket was under his standard.
McArdle plans a tilt at the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) in Morphettville on April 25 after this engagement.
Group 1 glory eludes My Gladiola’s record, though she has twice filled second to Tentyris on the Flemington straight at Group 1.
“The Sangster should be a good race,” McArdle said.
“She’ll get in with 54-½ (kilos), and Jamie can ride her in both races,” McArdle said.
“He knows her well and hopefully it will work out better than what her last run did.
“It’s four weeks after Saturday to the Sangster. She’ll have a trial in between and she should be good to go.”
My Gladiola probably won’t double up two weeks after Sangster in the Group 1 The Goodwood (1200m) at Morphettville on May 9, McArdle believes.
“She hasn’t had a good record of backing up in two weeks, but we’ll decide that after she runs in the Sangster,” McArdle said.
“If she runs well, she’ll probably get put away to get ready for the spring.”

Jannik Sinner continued his impressive run at the Miami Open, defeating American Alex Michelsen in straight sets to reach the quarter-finals. The Italian star also created history during the match, extending his streak to 28 consecutive sets won at ATP Masters 1000 events, breaking Novak Djokovic’s 10-year-old record of 24.
Despite the straight-set scoreline of 7-5, 7-6, the match was far from easy for Sinner. Michelsen pushed him hard, especially in the second set, where the American raced to a 5-2 lead. However, Sinner showed his class and composure, fighting back to force a tiebreak and eventually sealing the win with a powerful serve.“I feel like I served very well in important moments and that helped me out, especially in the tough moments,” Sinner said. “But today was not easy — I played a night match yesterday and today in the daytime, so the conditions were very different.”With this victory, Sinner remains on course for the “Sunshine Double,” having already won the Indian Wells title earlier.
Upsets and key results in Miami
In other matches, Frances Tiafoe advanced to the quarter-finals and will now face Sinner. One of the biggest surprises came from Spain’s young qualifier Martin Landaluce, who defeated Sebastian Korda in a thrilling three-set match.Landaluce, who had struggled for wins earlier this season, dedicated his victory to his late grandmother, saying, “She would have been 101 last week, and she passed away a few months ago. I wanted to give her the victory.”Elsewhere, Jiri Lehecka knocked out Taylor Fritz, while Tommy Paul, Arthur Fils, Francisco Cerundolo, and Alexander Zverev also progressed, setting up an exciting quarter-final lineup in Miami.
There are but a handful of certainties in life — death, taxes, and Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani winning MVP awards. Both have won the award in each of the last two seasons, and at least one has claimed MVP honors in every season since 2021. This isn’t surprisingly considering Ohtani might be the best baseball player in the history of the game and Judge has a penchant for racking up home runs like its child’s play, but it can make betting on the MVP race tricky and potentially less lucrative.
Judge and Ohtani are once again the favorites to win each league’s MVP award, but does that make them the best betting options? Is there better value with other players? Below, I’ve identified my best bets for each league’s MVP award as well as two longshots and two players to fade with the 2026 season getting underway on Wednesday, March 26. All odds are from DraftKings, and those looking to bet on the AL and NL MVP can visit the DraftKings promo code page to take advantage of the latest offer.
AL best bet: Bobby Witt Jr. (+500)
A player’s MVP case is always strengthened if they can power their team to a playoff spot. The Kansas City Royals have been trendy picks to claim the AL Central for a few seasons now, but this is the year it could actually happen. The Detroit Tigers added an impressive piece in Framber Valdez and will welcome infielder Kevin McGonigle, one of the top prospects in baseball, to the Show. But even with Valdez in the fold and McGonigle entering the fray, do the Tigers really have the offensive firepower to beat out the Royals? Full seasons of Carter Jensen and Jac Caglianone (who looked good at the World Baseball Classic) will help K.C.’s case, and Isaac Collins could prove to be a sneaky good addition.
Then, of course, there’s Bobby Witt himself. A true five-tool player, Witt should be entering his prime in his age-26 season. There may be even more power to unlock in his bat, and if he gets the Royals to a division title, he’ll get serious MVP consideration.
The biggest road block here is Judge. The greatest slugger of his generation, Judge has only seemed to get better with age. We’ll need a bit of a stumble (or a prolonged injury) from the best right-handed hitter since Albert Pujols for Witt to get over the line. But this is baseball we’re talking about — stranger things have happened. And from a betting perspective, Witt is worth a sprinkle.
NL best bet: Juan Soto (+900)
Ohtani is a ridiculous -145 favorite to win NL MVP at DraftKings and rightfully so. The most talented baseball player of all time will be both pitching and hitting for the best team in the sport this year, and should probably be viewed as the penciled-in MVP until a shocking dip in performance or a long-term injury prevents him from being so. But in the event Ohtani does miss a chunk of time (he’ll be pitching again this year and has a history of arm trouble), who is best positioned to step into the void?
That would be Juan Soto, who somehow went under the radar in his first year in Queens despite finishing third in MVP balloting. A noticeably slow start (which was lambasted in the loud New York media) likely contributed to the narrative that Soto underperformed, but on the whole Soto still managed a 156 wRC+ — he was 56% better than league average at the plate, for the uninitiated.
The less said about his defense the better, but Soto remains a monster with the bat. If he performs like himself right out of the gate and keeps it up into October, he’ll be in contention for the MVP award … if Ohtani misses time. Or, perhaps, is abducted by aliens. It’s going to be hard to dethrone the best player in the sport.

AL longshot: Nick Kurtz (+1500)
What Nick Kurtz accomplished in his rookie season was downright scary. In just 117 games, he launched 36 homers (including four in one game, and he narrowly missed a fifth), knocked in 90 runs and hit a hilarious .290/.383/.619. He immediately established himself as one of the preeminent sluggers in the sport, and with the A’s still marooned in their minor-league launching pad in Sacramento, he’ll have plenty of chances to keep hitting bombs.
The sophomore slump cliche doesn’t scare me here. First basemen are rarely first-round picks these days, but the A’s took Kurtz fourth overall for a reason — he’s a born hitter. He is the centerpiece of this offense moving forward, and if John Fisher’s merry band of exiled sluggers mash their way to the playoffs, he’ll be a driving force. I expect Kurtz to start the All-Star Game and get MVP votes again after he finished 12th last year. He could just win the thing this time with a full season’s worth of plate appearances.
NL longshot: Paul Skenes (+2800)
A full-time starting pitcher (read: not Ohtani) hasn’t won an MVP since 2014, when Clayton Kershaw rampaged his way through the NL with a 1.77 ERA. It takes a special effort like that, along with a relative down year from the league’s hitters, to earn a pitcher an MVP. For example, even with how good Tarik Skubal has been in his back-to-back Cy Young Award campaigns, he’s only finished seventh and fifth in the balloting.
If anyone’s going to pull it off, it’s Skenes. The young phenom is only getting better, and he’ll also have the narrative factor on his side if the Pirates manage to stumble into the playoffs, as some prognosticators are projecting them to do. Pittsburgh’s pitching staff is excellent, and the team added a few bats (for once). Throw in a potential gangbusters rookie campaign from rookie shortstop Konnor Griffin, the consensus top prospect in the sport, and Skenes could sweep the hardware if he turns in a monster campaign and gets the Pirates back into the playoffs.

AL fade: Cal Raleigh (+1100)
With all due respect to the Big Dumper, it’s hard to imagine him replicating his ridiculous 2025 season. Cal Raleigh should still be one of the best backstops in the game and will be central to whatever degree of success the Mariners enjoy this season — and a return to the playoffs should be the bare minimum expectation in Seattle. Raleigh is still a worthy centerpiece for a playoff contender, but MVP-level catchers are rare for a reason. He’s unlikely to reach 60 home runs again and given his previous season totals, even reaching 50 would be considered a big accomplishment.
NL fade: Shohei Ohtani (-145)
Ohtani is the best player in baseball and will be the presumptive favorite for at least the next four or five NL MVP awards. However, the issue here is the price point.
It’s a ridiculous price for an MVP future. For example, Aaron Judge is +215 to win the AL award and he’s won three of the last four. A minus price for an awards future is bonkers and yet it’s hard to quibble with it in Ohtani’s case. I just can’t seriously endorse investing at that price.
There’s more value to be had with an option like Soto even if Ohtani is likely to win short of the MonStars taking his talent away.

Tiger Woods made his return to golf on Tuesday night, participating in The Golf League (TGL) Finals, and he had a supporting cast in the stands.
His girlfriend, Vanessa Trump, and her daughter, future University of Miami golfer Kai, had front-row seats at SoFi Center to take in the action.
They did not get the result they wanted, as Woods’ Jupiter Links, with Max Homa, Tom Kim and Kevin Kisner, lost to Los Angeles Golf Club, with Collin Morikawa, Sahith Theegala, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood. LAGC made three straight eagles to close out a 9-2 victory in Woods’ first competitive golf action in over a year.

The 15-time major champion and Vanessa Trump have kept their relationship relatively quiet. When they went public last year, Woods asked for privacy.
Both Vanessa and Kai attended the Genesis Invitational last month at Riviera, which Woods hosted. Vanessa and Kai attended other TGL events earlier this month as well, including a match in which Kai chatted with Travis Kelce.
Woods announced his relationship with Vanessa Trump, Donald Jr.’s ex-wife, on March 23, 2025.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts,” Woods wrote in his post.
A report in July said the two were “very serious,” and “wedding bells” could be chiming, but nothing along those lines has been made public.

Woods’ son, Charlie, and Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, are both competitive golfers. Kai has committed to play at the University of Miami, while Charlie will attend Florida State.
Charlie and Kai played in the same tournament in June.
After his highly publicized divorce from Elin Nordegren, Woods was linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn in the 2010s. He was dating Erica Herman at the time he won the Masters in 2019, but they, too, had a very public breakup that included sexual harassment allegations and an NDA lawsuit filed by Herman.
Woods and Nordegren have appeared to get along in recent years, as they co-parent Charlie and Sam Woods.
One step in Woods’ return is complete as he aims to play at the Masters in two weeks. He has yet to commit, but it’s tough to imagine Augusta National without the five-time green jacket winner.

Mandatory Credit: Michael Madrid-Imagn Images Mikaela Shiffrin won a record-tying sixth World Cup season title on Wednesday in Hafjell, Norway.
Heading into the giant slalom, the final race of the season, Shiffrin had an 85-point lead over Emma Aicher of Germany. A finish no lower than 15th place would result in claiming the title. Aicher could steal the title if she won the race and Shiffrin finished below 15th in the giant slalom.
Shiffrin finished 11th, and Aicher ended in 12th place.
Shiffrin, 31, tied Annemarie Moser-Proll with her sixth season championship. The Austrian won five season titles from 1971-75 and the final one in 1979.
The 2026 Olympic champion in the slalom, Shiffrin won the World Cup title in consecutive years from 2017-19 and again in 2022 and 2023.
“It’s quite emotional,” Shiffrin said to the International Ski and Snowboard Federation after the race. “I’m really grateful to be in this position now. It’s really a big emotion, but I’m so grateful for the fight.”
Lindsey Vonn is next on the list with four overall titles.
With her slalom win on Tuesday, Shiffrin earned her 110th career victory on the World Cup circuit, extending her lead over Ingemar Stenmark of Sweden, who won 86 before his retirement in 1989.

The news, which was reported by The Guardian, reflects the growing popularity of running after more than a million people entered the ballot for this year’s race.
Last year’s London Marathon broke the record for the number of participants, with over 56,000 receiving a place, but ballot applications have doubled in the space of two years.
The report from The Guardian said staging the London Marathon across Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 April next year could allow around 50,000 runners on the course each day.
Increasing the number of participants would also allow more people to raise money for charity. Last year’s race set a fundraising record for the event, at £87.5m.
The plans would require approval from the mayor’s office, who said Sadiq Khan “looks forward” to working with the event and considering if a two-day event could be possible.
“The TCS London Marathon is the world’s most popular marathon, and we are continually exploring innovative ways to enable more people to take part, while delivering positive benefits for London,” a spokesperson said.
“Together with our partners and stakeholders, we are looking at the intention for the 2027 TCS London Marathon to take place across two days. No approval has been given at this stage.
“Our immediate focus is on delivering an incredible 2026 TCS London Marathon on Sunday 26 April and ensuring every participant has an amazing experience.”
