London Marathon organisers believe this year’s elite field is the most impressive ever assembled in the sport’s history with Eliud Kipchoge among the big names looking to cash in
A record-breaking 56,000 could finish Sunday’s TCS London Marathon and while the vast majority will just want to make it to the finish line while raising huge funds for charities, there is some big money on offer for the pros at the front of the field.
Last year London made the big step to offer equal prize pools for all four races – including the wheelchair events – and the sums remain the same for 2025.
Organisers believe they have assembled the greatest elite field in the sport’s history, despite women’s world record holder Ruth Chepngetich and legend Kenenisa Bekele withdrawing in the past few days.
Icon Eliud Kipchoge is among those lining up in the men’s race, alongside 2024’s fastest marathoner Sebastian Sawe, Olympic champion Tamirat Tola and recent half marathon record breaker Jacob Kiplimo.
