If you thought last year’s London Marathon was historic, wait until you see what's coming in 2025. Ruth Chepng'etich returns as the record-smashing wildcard, Peres Jepchirchir as the steady champion, and Sifan Hassan as the unstoppable force, joined by a supporting cast strong enough to headline any other marathon on earth.
Two GOATS. The defending champion. The Olympic champion. The fastest debutant alive. The half marathon world record holder. The 2025 London Marathon has put the biggest budget in global marathon running to mouth-wateringly good use, assembling the greatest men’s field in the event’s history.
On Monday, April 21st, defending champions Hellen Obiri and Sisay Lemma will attempt to prevent another name from being etched into the Boston Marathon history books as they return to the streets of the Massachusetts capital for the 129th edition of the world’s oldest annual marathon.
The 2025 Tokyo Marathon gave more credence to a trend that has been emerging recently: the age of Ethiopian marathon dominance.
Ethiopians Sutume Kebede and Tadese Takele took top honours in the Japanese capital this morning, with Kebede successfully defending her title in the boldest of manners and Takele winning his first World Marathon Major at just 22 years of age.
This Sunday, Tokyo Marathon champion Benson Kipruto will look to defend his title against a slew of East Africans hoping to use the streets of Japan as a springboard to launch their return to form over the marathon.
The most notable of those planning their redemption arc is 5000m and 10,000m world record holder Joshua Cheptegei, who will line up for his second career marathon and the first since officially announcing his retirement from the track.
History's largest marathon has witnessed royal succession at its gates. Tigst Assefa unleashed a textbook demolition job with a blistering 5:03 mile that turned a side-by-side duel into a three-minute massacre, while Sabastian Sawe completed his Kiptum-esque ascension to the throne with a 2:40km to secure his second marathon win in as many starts.
