The London Marathon 2025 saw a new record set by Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia in the women’s race. The Olympic silver medallist Assefa went clear of 2021 winner Joyciline Jepkosgei of Kenya with 10km to go before crossing the line in two hours 15 minutes 50 seconds.
Assefa surpassed the previous record, set by Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya in London last year, by 26 seconds.
Jepkosgei finished second, nearly three minutes behind, with 2023 winner and Olympic champion Sifan Hassan of the Netherlands coming third.
Sebastian Sawe emerged victorious in the men’s race. The debutant came clear with a little over 10km (6.21 miles) remaining and his rivals were unable to respond, with the Kenyan finishing in 2:02:27.
Jacob Kiplimo of Uganda was over a minute down in second on his full marathon debut and 2024 winner Alexander Mutiso Munyao came third.
On the other hand, Marcel Hug and Catherine Debrunner retained their wheelchair crowns.
