The 2014 London Marathon is about a fortnight away. Not only is the London Marathon one of the largest of its kind across the world, it also attracts a whole bevy of participants who come dressed up in the craziest of costumes, either for a cause or just for the heck of it. Here are some of the wackiest ones from last year's race
#1 In memory of the Boston marathon victims

#2 Ale

Never a bad time for a drink during a marathon, why not dress up as London's finest?

Harry Potter and his friends weren't the only popular characters from J.K. Rowling's hit series, Professor Albus Dumbledore was too.
