London Marathon organisers said Sunday's edition of the event set a world record for the number of finishers, eclipsing the previous mark of 55,646 set at last year's New York City Marathon.

Among the tens of thousands taking part for their chosen charities are Julie Barnes and Debra Harrison from Hull. They told BBC London their slogan for the marathon was "finish lines not finish times". Ms Harrison is running for the charity Fit Mums and Friends, while Ms Barnes was lucky enough to get a place through the ballot.

As ever, sports fans in the UK can watch the 2025 London Marathon live on free-to-air channels BBC1 and BBC2. This also means viewers in the UK will be able to stream the event free on BBC iPlayer. Coverage starts at 8.:30 a.m. BST on Sunday morning on BBC1 before switching over to BBC2 at 2 p.m. for the rest of the day's action.
