The 45th TCS London Marathon 2025 has achieved its previously stated goal: with 56,641 runners, it is now the largest marathon in history.
In addition, 3,762 participants joined the event virtually, and more than 15,000 children and teenagers took part in the Mini Marathon the day before.
At the front of the field, there were no surprises - favorites dominated the podium, as expected.

Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia delivered a historic performance at the TCS London Marathon 2025, smashing the women’s-only world record with a time of 2:15:50. Beaming as she crossed the finish line, Assefa celebrated her first victory in London, leaving behind former champions Joyciline Jepkosgei of Kenya (2:18:44) and Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands (2:19:00), who finished second and third, respectively.

In the men’s race, Sebastian Sawe of Kenya, currently the fastest marathon runner in the world, left no room for doubt, cruising to victory in 2:02:27 - the second-fastest time ever recorded in London. Half marathon star Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda underlined his growing reputation with a strong second-place finish in 2:03:37, while defending champion Alexander Mutiso Munyao (Kenya) took third in 2:04:20.

Marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge, a four-time London winner and now competing in the M40 age group, placed sixth with 2:05:25, narrowly missing the age-group world record set by Kenenisa Bekele last year.

In the wheelchair division, Switzerland once again dominated. Marcel Hug claimed his fifth consecutive and seventh overall London title, while Catherine Debrunner set a new course record of 1:34:18, falling just two seconds short of the world record.

At 83 years old, Mary Jo Brinkman of the United States was the oldest competitor in this year’s TCS London Marathon. Crossing the finish line in 7:23:16, she added another medal to her impressive collection - collecting her second circuit of the Abbott World Marathon Majors.

Outstanding performances were seen in the 80+ age category. Gina Little, famous for running over 600 marathons, clocked 5:25:27 to win her division. She also holds the distinction of being the woman with the most London Marathon starts - 41 in total. In the men’s 80+ division, Stuart Mann, born in 1944, delivered a remarkable performance, winning his age group in 4:28:07.

Among the most celebrated stories of the day was that of Chris Finill, one of the last remaining "Ever Presents" - a group of just six runners who have completed all 45 editions of the London Marathon. Finill, who impressively ran his first 33 marathons all under three hours, finished this year's race in 3:15:14, this time leading his family across the line as he ran alongside his daughter Joanna, while his grandson cheered from the sidelines.

Finill’s enduring legacy is featured in a dedicated You Tube Video, capturing his remarkable journey through four and a half decades of the London Marathon.
