Sunday's London Marathon set a world record for the number of finishers, eclipsing the previous mark of 55,646 in New York last year, organisers said.

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.

Assefa beat the previous record, set by Peres Jepchirchir in London last year, by 26 seconds. The full results of the elite, wheelchair and mass races can he found here, where you can find out where your friends and family finished.
