Tigst Assefa has won the 2026 London Marathon, setting a new women's-only world record with a time of 2:15:41. There are conflicting reports about the men's results, with some outlets stating that Sabastian Sawe broke the two-hour barrier, while others do not mention this achievement. It is unclear if other runners, such as Yomif Kejelcha, also broke the sub-2-hour marathon barrier.
