Runners continue to pour over the finish line in The Mall on this special day and do so for their own special reasons.

There are so many emotional or inspiring stories behind each runner. Here are just three which we have mentioned today...

The London Marathon's director has just confirmed this year's race had a record number of starters of any marathon anywhere in the world.

We now wait to see if it also had a record number of finishers.

Sabastian Sawe was a surprise winner in a men's race billed as the best line-up ever.

Much of the attention was on half marathon world recorder holder Jacob Kiplimo, the great Eliud Kipchoge and Olympic Tamirat Tola but Sawe powered on late on to win.

Alex Yee was 14th as he swapped triathlon for the marathon while Mahamed Mahamed was the first Briton across the line in ninth.

Women's wheelchair race winner Catherine Debrunner, speaking to BBC One after her third London Marathon triumph: "It makes me super proud. I have a good match with this course and I was really looking forward to to the race.

"We had a super strong field. It was perfect weather for me, I like when it's warm. The crowd were really loud which helped.

"I had a good men's group ahead of me and they pushed me really hard. So that was a lot of fun."

On avoiding the men's racers: "That was tricky. Maybe it would be easier if we started one minute after the men because there were many bends when it was quite narrow.

"Of course, everybody wanted to take the same line but we're not allowed to draft so it was quite tricky to not draft them so I had to slalom."

Catherine Debrunner broke her own course record as she and Marcel Hug made it a Swiss double for the second year running in the London Marathon wheelchair races.

Debrunner finished in a time of one hour 34 minutes 18 seconds, more than four minutes quicker than her previous best in London three years ago and just two seconds outside her world record time.

Fellow Paralympic champion Hug surged to his seventh victory in London - and fifth in a row - in 1:25:25.

Great Britain's eight-time winner David Weir finished sixth and Eden Rainbow-Cooper was the top Briton in the women's race as she crossed the line in fourth.

Tigst Assefa won the women's race earlier, crossing the line in a world record time for a women's-only race.

She was side-by-side with Joyciline Jepkosgei for much of the race but pulled clear in the closing stages it what was ultimately a convincing win.

Eilish McColgan, on her marathon debut, was eighth.

Eilish McColgan, who finished eighth on her marathon debut: "I was very, very nervous. Probably the most nervous I have been. The distance was an unknown. I have never raced more than a half marathon so I thought of doing it back-to-back was scary. The crowds were insane."

On whether she will do another marathon: "If you asked me just after I would have said absolutely not but now I have had time to think it was an incredible experience. I knew my first one would be tough. I was coming in underprepared. I can now call myself a marathoner which I was incredibly proud of. It was a really good learning experience."

On her mum, Liz, who won the London Marathon in 1996: "I have spoken to her very briefly. Every time I run I feel I am doing it for my mum and family. It is different generation from her time. I have super shoes and gels and all sorts. It is really special.

"I would love to break two minutes 20 seconds. It is what I think I am capable of doing. I will make some tweaks in training. There will definitely be more marathons in the future. Hopefully there can another before the end of the year."

More fancy dress content because there's definitely no such thing as too much on London marathon day!

Seven-time Olympic cycling champion Jason Kenny has completed his first London Marathon and has been speaking to Gabby Logan on BBC One.

"It was absolutely amazing. Running with all of these amazing people who are mainly running for other people or causes is emotional.

"In the last couple of kilometres, my legs started to fall off and there were just bodies everywhere, but everyone was just pushing each other through.

"I'm running for my mate Chris [Hoy] and supporting his fundraising so all the emotion bubbles up in the last few kilometres.

"It was brutal but amazing."

David Prescott, the son of the late MP John Prescott, is running the London Marathon to raise money for dementia research in memory of his father.

The former deputy prime minister died at the age of 86 in November 2024 after living with Alzheimer's disease for a number of years.

David said as well as fundraising, he was taking part in the race to raise awareness of the condition.

"It's the biggest killer of people in the UK," he said.

"For every one dementia researcher there's four researchers looking into cancer research.

"So there's a big inequality in terms of funding and in terms of mindset."

Lord Prescott was first elected as Labour MP for Hull East in 1970 and held the seat for almost 40 years. He served as deputy prime minister between 1997 and 2007.

Sergio Aguiar, another of the 'Southport dads', crossed the finish line just a little earlier.

Darren Awol was left paralysed from the waist down after being shot in the back in an unprovoked attack in 2011.

Doctors told him he would not walk again but today he is taking part in the London Marathon.

The 42-year-old uses elbow crutches and has splints on each leg to remain balanced. He plans to walk at the start and end of the race and along the Embankment and Tower Bridge.

He will use a wheelchair for the rest of the route.

"Your limitations are as far as you allow them to be," he said. "It's not about the medal but being able to do something I never thought I'd be able to.

"I want people to think a guy who defied all the odds did it and they can do it and turn up for themselves."

Adele Roberts on her new world record: "I did three marathons last year and three this year, but six over eight months.

"I hope it can show people that you can get your life back on track post-cancer and with a stoma. Running has been my medicine mentally."

Ahh we mentioned broadcaster and DJ Adele Roberts a little earlier and she has now finished.

In doing so she has set a new world record as the first and fastest runner to complete the six marathon majors with a stoma.

She has completed the set within eight months. Remarkable.
