The UK is firmly in its running era, and as thousands descend on the capital for the biggest race of the year, Burger King UK is here to reward runners with what they really crave after crossing the finish line: a big, tasty Whopper.

After pushing through 26.2 gruelling miles, that finish line feeling is a major win – but the first post-race meal is the ultimate satisfaction. And after burning through a days’ worth of energy in a matter of hours, exhausted runners need more than a light snack to boost their batteries. This marathon day, the Whopper is stepping up to the podium.

On Sunday 26th April, Burger King UK is encouraging runners to go the extra mile and head to Burger King The Strand and Burger King Leicester Square restaurants* for the most delicious victory lap – a FREE Whopper. Runners can simply flash their medal and be presented with the ultimate post-race reward – a juicy Whopper, completely free of charge. Selected Burger King® UK restaurants across London excluding train station and airports will also offer a juicy Buy One Get One Free deal**.

The iconic Whopper® is crafted with 100% British and Irish beef and contains no artificial colours, flavours, or preservative. Flame-grilled to perfection and layered with freshly sliced tomatoes and onions, and finished in a soft, golden sesame seed bun, it’s the perfect way to banish thoughts of achy legs by celebrating the most satisfying win, with the most satisfying meal.

But the rewards don’t stop there – Burger King® UK is back on Monday 27th April with the ultimate recovery move as Buy One Get One Free Whopper will be served to anyone who shows their medal at selected Burger King London restaurants.

So, whether sprinting, jogging, or crawling to the finish, this marathon weekend, Burger King UK is on hand to give race heroes the ultimate post-race satisfaction. For full T&Cs, please visit: https://www.burgerking.co.uk/marathon.
