Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe won the London Marathon with a reported time of 1:59:30, a mark that broke the two-hour barrier and surpassed the late Kelvin Kiptum’s world record of 2:00:35 set in Chicago in 2023. Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha finished second in 1:59:41 in his marathon debut, while Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo took third in 2:02:28. In the women’s race, Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa won in 2:15:41, setting a new women’s-only world record, ahead of Kenya’s Hellen Obiri and Joyciline Jepkosgei. Marcel Hug of Switzerland claimed the men’s wheelchair title for the sixth straight year, and fellow Swiss athlete Catherine Debrunner won the women’s wheelchair race for a third consecutive time.
