The winners are returning to London looking to defend their titles.

On Tuesday, event organizers announced that 2024 TCS London Marathon champions Peres Jepchirchir and Alexander Mutiso will return to race the event in 2025.

Last year, Jepchirchir not only won the women's division of the London Marathon, but also set a women's-only world record of 2:16:16 in the process. Mutiso took the men's division in 2:04:01 in his London Marathon debut in 2024.

Jepchirchir boasts an extensive resume beyond her London Marathon successes. She holds titles from the 2021 New York City Marathon, 2022 Boston Marathon and the Tokyo Olympic Marathon, in addition to four world championship wins in the half marathon.

Mutiso, on the other hand, is still trying to develop into form in his marathon career. At the Paris Olympics -- his lone marathon since winning London -- Mutiso finished 21st in 2:10:31. In his most recent race, the Bangsaen21 Half Marathon in Thailand, Mutsio took second in 1:02:34.

Both, however, will face stiff competition in reigning Olympic champions Sifan Hassan and Tamirat Tola, both of whom race organizers announced on Monday would contest the 2025 London Marathon. The last time Jepchirchir faced Hassan was in that Olympic race where she placed 15th in 2:26:51.
