The London Marathonâs 2026 runners broke plenty of records. We had not one, but two, sub-two-hour finish times from winner Sebastian Sawe and runner-up Yomif Kejelcha, respectively â a feat not recorded under normal marathon conditions before.
Runner Tigst Assefa smashed her then-world-beating 2025 time with a new womenâs world record of 2:15:41, too.
Remarkably, that meant Assefa finished an entire marathon before the last wave of non-elite runners had even started the race.
But people donât just tune into the 26.2 mile race for the displays of athleticism. The London Marathon is also associated with star power, too, and this year was no different: Cynthia Erivo, Tilly Ramsay, and even Daddy Pig made an appearance.
Which begs the question: how did they get on?

Tigst Assefa improved her previous world record from 2025 with a new time of 2:15:41.
The sub-two-hour finish times by Sawe and Kejelcha mark a historic achievement not previously recorded under normal marathon conditions.

The Wicked star finished the marathon with a remarkably fast time of 3:21:40.
For context, the average womanâs marathon finish time in the UK is just over five hours.
Itâs a new personal best for the actor, who announced the achievement on Instagram to praise from stars like Gigi Hadid and Gordon Ramsay.
Tilly Ramsay, whose family members, including dad Gordon, have previously taken part in triathlons, ran her first-ever marathon this year.
She finished in a great time of 4:01:26. Her father shared a post after the event which read, âSuch a proud dad today watching my little girl @tillyramsay run her first ever marathon!â
She ran with Flora for Feeding Britain.
Fitness influencer Joe Wicksâ finish time was 5:51:54, a second after Daddy Pigâs (yes, he of Peppa Pig fame).
Thatâs because the pair were running together, with Daddy Pig raising money for the National Deaf Childrenâs Society.
Wicks also ran with his brothers.
Alexandra Burke, who finished the race in 4:25:03, said on Instagram, âI never take it for granted that Iâm able to move my body and do things that challenge me!â
She raised money for the Melissa Bell Foundation and Parkinsons UK.
Fern Brady, who was running her first-ever marathon and finished in 5:49:12, joked on Instagram: âThat was **** easy and at no point did I lose my grip on reality or believe I was crying hysterically and making a holy show of myself when in fact there was no tears coming out my eyes.â
She raised money for Autistica UK.
Drag Race UK star Kitty Scott Claus, meanwhile, finished at 4:25:35 â running for Alzheimerâs Research UK.
âThis oneâs for you Grandma,â she titled her post-run Instagram post.
