Sunday April 26. The London Marathon. Highs of 19 degrees, blue skies, and the sun creeping through. Near perfect conditions for the iconic 26.2 mile route, taking us from Blackheath all the way to the mall. It was a day for records to be broken. This year’s London Marathon introduced a seismic lineup of competitors. Leading the pack, with the previous 2025 victory (2:02:27), included Kenyan great Sebastian Sawe (age 31), alongside Yomif Kejelcha (28) on his debut marathon.
