Sabastian Sawe produced a historic breakthrough at the London Marathon, running 1:59:30 to become the first man in history to break the two-hour barrier in a legal, competitive race. The Kenyan took control in a tightly packed elite group deep into the race before gradually forcing separation in the closing stages, sealing a landmark performance that redefines the event. 

Right behind him, Yomif Kejelcha stunned in his marathon debut, clocking 1:59:41 after transitioning from a world-class track career that includes multiple World Championship 10,000m silver medals (2019, 2025). Kejelcha isn't entirely new to the roads. He set a new half marathon world record of 57:30 in 2024, breaking Jacob Kiplimo's former half marathon world record of 57:31 by one second. Kiplimo broke Yomif's record by 48 seconds at the 2025 EDP Lisbon Half Marathon, running 56:42, 

Kiplimo took third behind Sawe and Kejelcha. His time of 2:00:28 made him the third man in the race to beat the late Kelvin Kiptum's previous World Record (2:00:35, Chicago Marathon 2024).

In the women’s race, Tigst Assefa delivered a women’s-only world record in 2:15:41, improving her own record from London 2025 (2:15:50). She held off strong challenges from Hellen Obiri (2:15:53) and Joyciline Jepkosgei (2:15:55), who pushed her through the middle stages but ultimately finished behind as Assefa controlled the race to the line.

4:35 ET - The Elite Men are Off

On the men’s side, Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe returns after a dominant 2:02:27 victory in 2025, one of the fastest times ever run on the London course. He’ll once again face Uganda’s Jacob Kiplimo, the half marathon world record holder who impressed with a runner-up finish in his marathon debut last year.

This year’s men’s field goes far beyond a two-man duel.

Ethiopia’s Deresa Geleta adds serious depth as one of the few men in the field under 2:03, while Olympic champion Tamirat Tola brings proven championship pedigree.

Uganda’s Joshua Cheptegei, best known for his Olympic gold in the 10,000m, continues his transition to the marathon, adding intrigue to the race dynamics. Meanwhile, 2022 London champion 2022 London Marathon champ Amos Kipruto returns looking to reassert himself among the sport’s elite.

4:22 AM ET - Women's 5K Leaders

The pace group and a small group of elite women have already broken away from the pack!

At the 5k:

1. Tigst Assefa

2. Hellen Obiri 

3. Joyciline Jepkosgei 

4:05 AM ET - The Elite Women Are Off!

Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa looks to defend her title after delivering a historic 2:15:50 in 2025—a women-only world record. With her consistency across major championships, she enters as the clear favorite, but the field behind her is stacked.

Behind Assefa, the women’s race is equally compelling.

Kenya’s Joyciline Jepkosgei, a former London champion, returns after finishing second last year and remains one of the most consistent performers on the circuit.

She’ll be joined by Olympic bronze medalist Hellen Obiri, who continues to build her marathon resume, and Uruguay’s Julia Paternain, a rising name with global podium experience.

For the host nation, Eilish McColgan headlines the field after an impressive marathon debut in London last year, where she broke a longstanding Scottish record. Fellow Brit Rose Harvey also returns after a strong top-10 finish in 2025.

Beyond the elite competition, the London Marathon continues to expand its global footprint. With participation numbers expected to surpass last year’s record, the race is further cementing its status as one of the most significant events in distance running—not just for elites, but for the broader running community.
