In his 22nd career marathon, Eliud Kipchoge finished sixth at the 2025 London Marathon, running a time of 2:05:25. Kipchoge, who turned 40 in November, was the top finisher in the masters division, although he fell short of Kenenisa Bekele’s masters world record of 2:04:15 from London last year.

Marathon legend Eliud Kipchoge has broken his silence after an underwhelming performance at the highly anticipated London Marathon on Sunday, April 27, where he finished in sixth place.

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