DLR x London Marathon | Network in Action

High-energy event film capturing DLR teams supporting London Marathon day: guiding runners and spectators safely, with quick cuts and vibes.

Challenge: Capture a fast-moving, high-footfall day and show the DLR’s role clearly—without losing the fun, celebratory atmosphere.
Approach: We filmed across key stations and moments, using quick-cut editing and punchy sound design to mirror the pace of marathon day.
Impact: A vibrant comms piece that spotlights operational support, boosts team pride, and gives stakeholders a shareable “day in action” story.

Every year during the London Marathon, the teams across the DLR step up to help thousands of runners and spectators move through the network – keeping people safe, informed and in the right place at the right time, while maintaining the upbeat energy that makes marathon day so special.

We were there to document the action as it unfolded, capturing the crowds, the signage, the moments of support, and the atmosphere across the network. The final film is fast, joyful and packed with quick cuts to maintain momentum – showing not just what the DLR does on one of London’s biggest days, but how it feels when the city comes alive.
