All The Celebrity Finish Times From The London Marathon 2026

The London Marathon ’s 2026 runners broke plenty of records. We had not one, but two, sub-two-hour finish times from winner Sebastian Sawe and runner-up Yomif Kejelcha, respectively – a feat not recorded under normal marathon conditions before. Runner Tigst Assefa smashed her then-world-beating 2025 time with a new women’s world record of 2:15:41, too.

Remarkably, that meant Assefa finished an entire marathon before the last wave of non-elite runners had even started the race. But people don’t just tune into the 26. 2 mile race for the displays of athleticism.
