The stage is set for one of the most anticipated races of the year as the London Marathon returns for its 46th edition this Sunday (26 April), bringing together a world-class lineup across all divisions. With defending champions Sabastian Sawe and Tigst Assefa leading exceptionally deep elite fields, and wheelchair stars Marcel Hug and Catherine Debrunner aiming to extend their dominance, the 2026 race promises high-quality competition from start to finish. Combined with a record-breaking mass participation field expected to exceed 59,000 runners, London once again stands as a global centerpiece of marathon racing.
