The strongest women’s elite field in history took center stage at this year’s London Marathon. World record holder Tigst Assefa (ETH) set a blistering pace close to the world record, quickly reducing the lead pack to just three other women. Ultimately, Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir proved to be the fastest finisher on The Mall, setting a new women-only world record with a time of 2:16:16. Assefa followed just seven seconds behind, securing second place, while Joyciline Jepkosgei claimed third by a margin of one second. Remarkably, runners in positions 2 to 4 all broke Mary Keitany’s seven-year-old women-only record.

In a surprising twist in the men’s race, only two of the invited Kenyan and Ethiopian runners managed to reach the front. London debutant Alexander Munyao (KEN) secured a comfortable victory with a time of 2:04:01, finishing 14 seconds ahead of Kenenisa Bekele (ETH). Bekele, impressively, set a new world record in the age 40+ category. For the first time in 28 years, a British man made it to the podium, as Emile Cairess (GBR) celebrated his third-place finish with a time of 2:06:46.

The 91-year-old David Picksley became the oldest participant to complete the London Marathon, finishing in 7:57:15, just within the 8-hour time limit. Even more impressive was Stuart Mann, the winner of the 80+ age group, who recorded an astonishing time of 3:58:19. Meanwhile, Jeannie Rice (USA) shattered her own F75 world record by an incredible five minutes, setting a new mark of 3:33:27.

Wheelchair athlete Marcel Hug (CH) secured his fourth consecutive London Marathon victory, an unprecedented achievement for both runners and wheelchair competitors. Britain’s hero David Weir completed his 25th consecutive London Marathon, marking an incredible milestone. With a third-place finish, he reached the podium for the 21st time in his illustrious career. In the women’s wheelchair race, it was a Swiss double victory, with Catherine Debrunner claiming first place, followed by Manuela Schär.
