It was a Six-Star medal decades in the making—but one that former women’s marathon world record holder Paula Radcliffe finally achieved. At the 2025 Boston Marathon, the 51-year-old completed the race in 2:53:44, becoming just the sixth person to run all six Abbott World Marathon Majors, plus a marathon at the World Championships and the Olympics.

Sabastian Sawe used smart tactics to pull away for the men's title in the London Marathon, while Tigst Assefa smashed the women’s-only world record.

Tigst Assefa of Ethiopia secured her first London Marathon title, finishing in 2:15:50 for the fastest-ever time in a women's-only marathon. Kenya's Sabastian Sawe won the men's race in his London debut.
