About This Trend

London Marathon is an annual marathon held in London, England, first established in 1981 by athletes Chris Brasher and John Disley. It is typically held in April, though it was moved to October for 2020, 2021, and 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The event is trending due to its recent 2025 edition, where Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia won the women's race with a record-breaking time of 2:15:50, while Sabastian Sawe of Kenya claimed victory in the men's race. This year's marathon also set a new world record for the number of finishers despite challenging hot conditions. .
