The 2025 London Marathon returned with star-studded elite fields and, for the second year running, a historic prize pot.

In 2024, the event made history by becoming the first marathon in the world to ensure equal prize money for both able-bodied athletes and wheelchair racers.

Although the winners are not as highly paid as in some other iconic sporting events, the elite men's and women's able-bodied races, along with the men's and women's wheelchair races  had a prize pot of  $308 000, with the winners receiving $55,000 each.
