Emile Cairess, Alex Yee, and Eilish McColgan are set to represent British hopes at the upcoming London Marathon on April 27, 2025. Cairess, who made headlines with his remarkable fourth-place finish at the Paris Olympics, is looking to improve upon his third-place finish from last year. With a personal best of 26:46, he stands as the second-fastest British marathon runner in history, trailing only Sir Mo Farah. His transition to the marathon has been impressive, having finished sixth in his debut in 2023 with a time of 287.

Joining Cairess is Olympic triathlon champion Alex Yee, who will be making his much-anticipated marathon debut. Yee's transition from triathlon to marathon running has garnered significant attention, and fans are eager to see how he performs over the 26.2-mile distance. Eilish McColgan, a standout in the 10,000m with a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and a silver at the European Championships in 2022, will also be making her marathon debut, adding to the excitement surrounding the British contingent.

The competition will be fierce, with Cairess facing formidable opponents such as Ethiopian Olympic marathon gold medallist Tamirat Tola and defending London Marathon champion Alexander Mutiso Munyao from Kenya. The women's field is equally competitive, featuring Dutch distance runner Sifan Hassan, who was recognized as World Athletics' female athlete of the year following her Olympic performances. The London Marathon promises to be a thrilling event, showcasing some of the best athletes in the world and providing a significant platform for British runners to demonstrate their skills.
