The 2026 London Marathon has received a record 1.13 million applications — the highest ever for any marathon globally. Nearly 870,000 entries came from the UK, with the rest from international hopefuls. Organisers called the response “absolutely staggering,” reinforcing London’s status as the world’s most popular marathon.
