Where can I find the official London Marathon 2025 results?

How to access the TCS London Marathon results page

The official results from the 2025 TCS London Marathon live on a dedicated website built for the event. The official results page, hosted by the event’s timing partner, lets you search by name, bib number, or club. Once you land on the site, select the 2025 event from the dropdown menu to see the full list of finishers.

  1. Enter your surname or bib number in the search bar.
  2. Filter by gender, age category, or nationality.
  3. View split times at 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, and 30 km checkpoints.

The trade-off: the official site is fast and accurate, but it doesn’t offer a live-updating leaderboard on race day itself — that data is published after the event.

What is the direct URL for 2025 results?

Bookmark this address: https://results.tcslondonmarathon.com/2025/. It’s the only official domain for the 2025 edition. The London Marathon Events results portal also links to this page from their main results hub. If you’re looking for a specific runner, the search function returns their chip time, gun time, and category position within seconds.

The upshot

Sabastian Sawe’s 2:02:25 is the second-fastest time in London Marathon history, a statement that reshapes the men’s elite conversation. For the thousands of runners behind him, the official results page is the only verified gateway to their own race data.

The pattern: the official page is the single verification point for every runner’s time.

How to download the London Marathon 2025 results PDF?

Where to find the PDF download option on the results page

A PDF version of the results is available directly from the official results site. After you search for a runner or browse the finisher list, look for the “Download PDF” button near the top of the page. The Results.TCSLondonMarathon2025.pdf file includes all finishers sorted by gun time, with columns for category, gender, and splits.

  • Click the PDF icon on the results page toolbar
  • Select the report type: “Full Results” or “Category Results”
  • The file downloads as a multi-page PDF suitable for printing or saving

What data is included in the PDF results file

The PDF typically lists every finisher with their overall position, name, category, gun time, chip time, and split times at each timing point. According to the London Marathon Events results portal, entrants can also download an event certificate or request a time adjustment if needed. The PDF is a static snapshot — it won’t update if corrections are made later.

The pattern: the PDF gives you a permanent record of the day’s results, but the online search tool is more practical for checking individual performances quickly.

Who were the elite winners of the 2025 London Marathon?

Men’s elite race results

Sabastian Sawe crossed the finish line in 2:02:25, securing the men’s elite title and the second-fastest time in London Marathon history. Jacob Kiplimo followed in 2:03:37, and Alexander Mutiso rounded out the podium in 2:04:20, according to NBC Sports. Eliud Kipchoge, the legendary Kenyan marathoner, finished sixth in 2:05:25, as reported by run247 (running news specialist).

  • 1st: Sabastian Sawe — 2:02:25
  • 2nd: Jacob Kiplimo — 2:03:37
  • 3rd: Alexander Mutiso — 2:04:20
  • 6th: Eliud Kipchoge — 2:05:25

Women’s wheelchair race results

Catherine Debrunner won the women’s wheelchair division, continuing her dominance of the marathon circuit. On the men’s side, Marcel Hug claimed the wheelchair title, as confirmed by Olympics.com. Both athletes have consistently topped podiums in major marathons worldwide, and London 2025 was no exception.

What were the top three times in the men’s race?

The men’s podium produced a tight race at the front. Sawe’s 2:02:25 led the pack, followed by Kiplimo’s 2:03:37 and Mutiso’s 2:04:20. The gap between first and third — just over two minutes — reflects the high calibre of the elite field this year. NBC Sports noted that the top three all finished within competitive range of the course record.

The takeaway: the men’s race was the deepest in years, with three runners under 2:05 and a winning time that ranks among the fastest ever seen on the London course.

Why this matters

Tigst Assefa’s 2:15:50 in the women’s elite race was described by BBC Sport as a women’s-only world record. The time places her among the greatest female marathon runners in history and reshapes expectations for the sport.

The pattern: elite depth at the front is what made the 2025 men’s race historic.

How to view London Marathon 2025 results by age category?

Filtering results by age group on the official site

The official results page includes a filter panel that lets you narrow the list by age category. Select your age group — for example, 18–39, 40–44, 45–49, and so on — and the site updates the leaderboard to show only runners in that bracket. The TCS London Marathon results page also displays your category position alongside your overall rank.

  • Click “Filters” on the results page
  • Choose your age group from the dropdown menu
  • View your category rank and comparison to peers

Are age group results available as a separate report?

Age-group rankings are published alongside the overall results, but they are not yet available as a standalone PDF download. According to the London Marathon Events results portal, the age category breakdown is compiled after the main results are published, typically within a few days of race day. Runners who want to see how they placed among their peers should check the online filter tool first.

The catch: if you’re looking for a single PDF that lists all age-group winners, you may need to wait until the full results package is finalised in May 2025.

What were the top 50 finishers’ times in the 2025 London Marathon?

Where to see the top 50 leaderboard

The official results site displays a leaderboard that shows the top 50 finishers overall, sorted by gun time. This list includes both elite athletes and the fastest amateur runners. The TCS London Marathon 2025 results page updates the leaderboard dynamically as you scroll, and you can click on any runner’s name to view their full split data.

  • Visit the results page and select “Leaderboard” view
  • Filter by gender to see men’s and women’s top 50 separately
  • Click any runner for 5 km, 10 km, half, and 30 km splits

How the top 50 list is updated during the race

Live tracking data feeds the leaderboard in near-real time on race day, but the official top 50 list is finalised after the last elite runner crosses the line. The NBC Sports results page confirmed that the top 50 included a mix of international elites and UK-based club runners, with times ranging from 2:02:25 down to approximately 2:30 for the 50th position.

The pattern: the top 50 leaderboard is the best place to see the race’s depth — it shows that the London Marathon attracts world-class talent from the first finisher to the fiftieth.
