Alex Yee: Olympic triathlon champion ready for 2025 London Marathon
Great Britain’s Olympic and world triathlon champion Alex Yee will run in the 2025 London Marathon.
Yi, 26, has won four Olympic triathlon medals – including individual gold and mixed relay bronze at Paris 2024.
The London-born athlete – who has previously run track and cross country for Great Britain – will compete over the marathon distance for the first time on Sunday, April 27.
The five-time Mini London Marathon finisher said, “Committing to the London Marathon was no big deal for me. It’s an event that has given me a lot of memories.”
“Running a full marathon has always been an itch I’ve wanted to scratch and there’s no place I’d rather start this journey than London.”
Yi overcame New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde in the final in Paris to win his first Olympic title in August, before winning his first world title by finishing third in the final in Spain in October.
