This year’s London Marathon is set to welcome a record 56,000 participants, including the world’s fastest men’s marathon runner, Eliud Kipchoge, alongside four Olympic and Paralympic champions: Tamirat Tola, Sifan Hassan, Marcel Hug, and Catherine Debrunner.
According to Olympics.com, more than 1,500 runners with a disability are expected to take part in the international event, which will be held on April 27.
“The London Marathon starts in Greenwich and takes runners past some of the city’s most famous landmarks, including the Cutty Sark, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, the London Eye, and Big Ben, before finishing on the iconic Mall near Buckingham Palace,” the statement said.
The 2025 edition is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and competitive in the event’s history, drawing elite athletes and first-time marathoners alike to the streets of the capital. The London Marathon is part of the prestigious big five marathons, alongside the Berlin, Boston, Chicago, and New York City.
