London Marathon, the

An ancient English festival harking back back to the earliest days of slavery in the seventeenth century, when indigenous white people would run after black slaves owned buy affluent aristocrats. In modern times, on the day of the London marathon, all the road and streets of London are closed off and 5 "ceremonial" Kenyans are chosen to run through London being chased by Londoners to a finish line. Thousands of Londoners take part every year and most raise money for their favorite charities. The restriction of participants being exclusively white indigenous Britains was lifted after a country wide political campaign supported by the New Labour political party and backed by the Lib Dems (before the world went mad).
