Latest News About 2006 London Marathon

Here’s the latest I can provide based on available public coverage up to now:

• The London Marathon originally took place in April 2006 in London, with Felix Limo winning the men’s elite race in 2:06:39 and Deena Kastor winning the women’s race in 2:19:36.[2]
• In the wheelchair divisions, David Weir won the men’s wheelchair race in 1:29:48, and Francesca Porcellato won the women’s wheelchair race in 1:59:57.[2]
• About the event’s scale that year: roughly 119,000 people applied to enter, around 47,020 were accepted, and about 33,578 started; 32,924 finished (with a breakdown of runners by gender).[2]

If you’d like, I can compile a concise timeline of the 2006 race day (start times, notable splits, and finishing times) or pull additional sources for verification. I can also provide a short explainer on how the 2006 race fit into the London Marathon history and record progression. Would you like me to proceed with one of those?

Note: If you’re seeking the very latest news specifically about the 2006 London Marathon, I can’t fetch real-time updates from that past event right now, but I can summarize historical results and context from reputable sources.[2]
