What time does the London Marathon 2025 start? Race route and how to watch on TV
The London Marathon returns in 2025 with an even more star-studded field than usual for one of the biggest events of the year and a record number of runners entering the mass participation event run at the same time. All the Olympic and Paralympic marathon champions from last year's Paris Games will compete, along with over 56,000 total runners - smashing the record of 55,646 finishers set at the New York Marathon in November. Last year a closely-contested women's race was won by 2021 Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir in a world-record time for a women's only race (as in, run without male pacemakers). She crossed the tape in two hours, 16 minutes and 16 seconds, while her compatriot Alexander Mutiso Munyao won the men's race in 2:04.01. Here's everything you need to know: When is the London Marathon? The 2025 London Marathon is on Sunday 27 April. What time does it start? 8.50am – Elite wheelchair men's and women's races. 9.05am – Elite women's race. 9.35am – Elite men's race followed by mass start. How can I watch it? Viewers in the United Kingdom will be able to watch the London Marathon live on the BBC, with extensive television coverage and online streaming available via the BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website. What is the route? The London Marathon tends to follow a largely unchanged route since it was first run in 1981. Covering 26.2 miles, the course begins in Greenwich, dropping down from the high point of the race to follow a largely flat course, first heading east to Woolwich before doubling back on itself and follow the Thames to Bermondsey. From there, the runners cut across London Bridge and turn right to take in Canary Wharf and London's old Docklands, before a U-turn to track through central London, running along the Embankment until another right turn at Westminster Bridge towards St James's Park. The route takes in many famous London landmarks, from the Cutty Sark (mile six), Tower Bridge (mile 12), the Tower of London (mile 22) the London Eye and Big Ben (both mile 25) before its iconic finish line on The Mall near Buckingham Palace. What is the women's elite field? Olympic champion Sifan Hassan and Tigst Assefa, the second-fastest woman and previous world record holder, will be in action. World record holder Ruth Chepngetich and the reigning champion Peres Jepchirchir had to withdraw two weeks before the race. The British contingent will feature Eilish McColgan, a European medallist across 3,000m, 5,000m, and 10,000m, making her debut at the race 29 years after her mother, Liz, won it. - Tigst ASSEFA (ETH, 2:11:53) - Sifan HASSAN (NED, 2:13:44) - Joyciline JEPKOSGEI (KEN, 2:16:24) - Megertu ALEMU (ETH, 2:16:34) - Stella CHESANG (UGA, 2:18:26) - Haven Hailu DESSE (ETH, 2:19:29) - Susanna SULLIVAN (USA, 2:21:56) - Charlotte PURDUE (GBR, 2:22:17) - Sofiia YAREMCHUK (ITA, 2:23:16) - Rose HARVEY (GBR, 2:23:21) - Fatima Ezzahra GARDADI (MAR, 2:24:12) - Philippa BOWDEN (GBR, 2:25:47) - Lucy REID (GBR, 2:26:37) - Emily DURGIN (USA, 2:26:46) - Molly BOOKMYER (USA, 2:28:52) - Louise SMALL (GBR, 2:29:33) - Eilish MCCOLGAN (GBR, Debut) - Holly ARCHER (GBR, Debut) What is the men's elite field? Eliud Kipchoge, widely known as the greatest marathon runner of all time, will return to London for the first time since 2020 and chase a fifth victory. Jacob Kiplimo, the world record holder in the half-marathon, will make his debut at the full distance. Olympic champion Tamirat Tola and 2024 London champion Alexander Mutiso will compete alongside the likes of Sabastian Sawe, who ran last year's Valencia Marathon with a fastest-ever time for a debutant in history, of 2:02:05. But Kenenisa Bekele has withdrawn due to injury. The big draw for many British fans this year will be triathlete Alex Yee, who won Olympic and world gold last year, making his debut in the marathon discipline.

The prize money on offer this year is the same, with $55,000 going to each winner, the runners-up earning $30,000 (£23,100) and third-place $22,500 (£17,400).

London Marathon 2025: route, runners and everything else you need to know
The 45th running of the London Marathon gets under way in Greenwich on Sunday morning, a diverse multitude of elite athletes, costumed fun-runners, wheelchair competitors, the capital's streets thronging with supporters over 26.2 miles, all cheering home the biggest field – 56,000 souls – to take part in this celebrated event. Central London's traffic may grind to a halt but records will fall, personal landmarks set and colossal sums of money raised for charities. The race is, after all, the world's largest annual one-day fundraising event, with more than £1.3bn raised since 1981. And whether you are competing or following the action, here is your guide to the day … From Greenwich Park in south-east London, the athletes head east first towards Woolwich, turn north to the Thames and then along the river's southern bank and onwards to the raised-thumb loop at Rotherhithe. They turn east again to cross over the postcard friendly Tower Bridge and east again and into the Isle of Dogs. With legs and limbs growing ever heavier, the competitors head back towards Westminster and Big Ben along the north bank of the Thames and ever onwards to the grand backdrop of Buckingham Palace and the finishing line at the Mall. With London's temperatures forecast to rise into the low 20s, the conditions could prove challenging for many even over a route that is mostly flat. Spare a thought for the costumed competitors: not the ideal weather for those runners dressed as fridges or gorillas. Among the world's leading marathon runners it is hard to ignore Eliud Kipchoge's credentials as favourite for the men's race, which gets under way at 9.35am (times BST). The first athlete to run a marathon in under two hours (in 2019) and four times a winner (a record), the distance-running eminence returns for the first time since 2020. Sure to be on his shoulder are the defending champion, Kenya's Alexander Mutiso Munyao, and Ethiopia's Tamirat Tola, who powered to gold at the Paris Games in an Olympic record of 2hr 6min 26sec. Those seeking an outsider to cheer, look no further than the Ugandan Jacob Kiplimo. The half marathon world record-holder makes his London debut after becoming the first to run a half marathon in under 57 minutes in February. For the women's field, first off at 9.05am, two heroes of Paris 2024 feature in the Olympic champion, Sifan Hassan, and the silver medallist, Ethiopia's Tigst Assefa. Hassan won the women's race two years ago as she defied an injury to her hip – and nearly being taken out by a motorcycle – to claim a shock victory. 'I was born for drama,' the Dutch athlete joked after 2023's thrilling sprint finish. The winners will receive £41,000, while a £112,000 bonus is the prize for any man running under 2:02 or woman below 2:15. Some £98,000 extra will be pocketed by any runner setting a world record. (Sidenote: this year's race will host 87 official Guinness World Record attempts.) Contesting the elite wheelchair events is something of a Swiss affair. Marcel Hug is going for a seventh – and fifth consecutive – London Marathon victory, while his compatriot Catherine Debrunner is targeting a third London victory medal to adorn her mantelpiece alongside five Paralympic golds from Paris 2024. Oh, and they both hold their respective London records: Hug 1:23:44, (2023); Debrunner 1:38:24, (2022). Among the more than 30 octogenarians running will be two travelling from the United States – alongside approximately 5,446 Americans taking part – laying claim to being the oldest participants in this year's race. Hats off to the 84-year-old Mohan Kudchadker and 83-year-old Mary Jo Brinkman for making us couch potatoes feel even more tardy. As for the youngest participants, Lucy Jones from Hull turns 18 on Sunday and is raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support in memory of her mother, Clare, and grandmother Joan. Likewise, the youngest male participant, Callum Smillie, who celebrated his 18th birthday three days before the race, is running for Cancer Research UK in memory of his grandmother Margaret, who died from cancer. How is this for persistence in the face of adversity? There are six stalwarts who have competed in all 44 London Marathons to date: best of British to Chris Finill (Harrow AC), Michael Pearce (Ranelagh Harriers), Bill O'Connor (Queen's Park Harriers), Jeff Aston (Les Croupiers RC), David Walker (Chiltern Harriers) and Malcolm Speake (Road Runners AC). Making their London Marathon debuts are Eilish McColgan, the British record holder for 5,000m, 10,000m, 5km, 10km, 10 miles and the half-marathon, and the Olympic and world triathlon champion, Alex Yee. Also among the 46,353 competitors from the UK are the elite athletes Mahamed Mahamed and Philip Sesemann in the men's race and Charlotte Purdue, Rose Harvey and Phily Bowden in the women's event. Honourable mention too for David Weir. The record eight-time winner is back again for his 26th consecutive appearance in the men's wheelchair race. For those playing sporting celebrity bingo, get ready to tick off the cycling valedictorian Sir Jason Kenny, former England cricket captains and Sirs Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook, plus footballing notables Jack Wilshere, John Terry and Italy defender Leonardo Bonucci – all are dusting off their running shoes. From the world of entertainment the presenters Kelly Brook and Chris Evans, singer Alexandra Burke and McFly drummer Harry Judd join the throng. Live TV coverage will begin on BBC One at 8.30am and switches to BBC Two for the final hour at 2pm. Those online can join Daniel Harris for our live blog from 8.30am at

London Marathon 2025 prize money: How much will the winners get?
The London Marathon returns for 2025 with star-studded elite fields and a historic prize pot for the second straight year. In 2024, the event created history by becoming the first marathon in the world to ensure equal distribution of prize money between able-bodied athletes and wheelchair racers. Although the winners as not as well paid as in some other iconic sporting events, the elite men's and women's able-bodied races and men's and women's wheelchair races had a prize pot of $308,000 (£243,000) with the winners receiving $55k (£44k) each. Twelve months on the same is true and organisers will hope for a similarly closely-contested elite women's race, which was won by 2021 Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir in a world-record time for a women's only race (as in, run without male pacemakers). She crossed the tape in two hours, 16 minutes and 16 seconds, while her compatriot Alexander Mutiso Munyao won the men's race in 2:04.01.

The prize money on offer this year is the same, with $55,000 going to each winner, the runners-up earning $30,000 (£23,100) and third-place $22,500 (£17,400). There are also $150,000 (£115,900) bonuses on offer for running sub-2:02 for the men and sub-2:15 for the women, $125,000 (£96,500) for setting a new world record, and $25,000 (£19,300) up for grabs in the elite men's and women's races for a new course record.
