Most popular race: London marathon 2026 breaks world records
When it comes to breaking world records, London Marathon is now in a league of its own.
This year's race was the biggest, with nearly 60,000 finishers, and the fastest, with two elite world records, and Sabastian Sawe becoming the first person to break the two-hour barrier in a sanctioned race.
Now, more people than ever want to take part in next year's event, with over 1.3 million applications, and near parity between male and female runners.
Organisers are considering staging the 2027 edition across two days with two separate mass participation races.
Approval is yet to be given, but it could mean there may be more spots up for grabs in what has become the world's most popular running race.
