London Marathon organisers said they have received 840,318 applications for the 2025 race, breaking the world record of 578,374 set in last year’s public ballot.
More than 53,000 runners completed the 44th edition of the marathon last week, a record for the event, with Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir setting a women-only world record.
There were an estimated 17,000 ballot spaces available for this year’s race, according to agencies.
