44 Guinness World Records titles achieved at the 2024 TCS London Marathon

www.tcslondonmarathon.comHere’s what I can share about the London Marathon world record status right now.
- The London Marathon has seen various records tied to both overall and women-only categories in recent years, with standout performances often highlighted by major media outlets. For example, Jepchirchir previously set a women-only world record at London in 2:16:16, a benchmark that stood for some time.[7][8]
- In terms of overall world records, London has occasionally hosted record-chasing performances, but the fastest marathon times globally are typically achieved in Berlin, Chicago, London, and other venues with large flat courses and favorable conditions. For the latest, most precise update on a current world record or new London-specific records, I’d need to verify the newest official results from the event organizers or World Athletics.
Would you like me to fetch the latest official results from the London Marathon website and World Athletics to confirm any new world records or record-equalling performances from the 2026 race? I can also summarize any notable performances (men’s fastest time, women’s fastest time, and women-only records) with citations.
