Yorkshire man Emile Cairess has run the second fastest British marathon time ever to finish third at the London Marathon in an Olympic qualifying time of 2:06.46.

Cairess became the first British man to finish on the podium at the London Marathon since Sir Mo Farah back in 2018 - with the four-time Olympic Gold medallist the only Brit to have set a faster marathon time.

The first British woman across the line was Mhairi Maclennan. It is the first time the Scot from Inverness has run the marathon and went across in a very speedy 2:29.

A record number of people are taking part in the London Marathon in what has been billed as its most inclusive year yet. More than 50,000 people took part in the 2024 event with runners of all ages completing the route for charity. This year's race is the first time that wheelchair and non-disabled athletes have received the same prize money for a marathon.

All four winners of the elite races will receive £44,000, with the runner-up receiving £24,000 and third place £18,000. Britain's David Weir, who came in third place, previously said he had not expected the change to happen in his lifetime. There were 30 seconds of applause before the race in memory of last year's elite men's race winner Kelvin Kiptum, who died in a car accident in February at the age of 24.

He set a new London Marathon record of two hours, one minute and 25 seconds last year with his third win, and set a new world record of two hours and 35 seconds in Chicago in October. The 2023 marathon, the world's biggest annual one-day fundraising event, raised £63 million for thousands of charities.
