Great Britain’s Olympic and world triathlon champion Alex Yee will race in the 2025 London Marathon.<\/b><\/p>\n

Yee, 26, has won four Olympic triathlon medals – including individual gold and mixed relay bronze at Paris 2024.<\/p>\n

The London-born athlete – who previously ran for Great Britain on the track and in cross country – will compete over the marathon distance for the first time on Sunday, 27 April.<\/p>\n

“Committing to the London Marathon for me was a no-brainer. It is an event that has given me so many memories,” said the five-time Mini London Marathon finisher.<\/p>\n

“Taking part in a full marathon has always been an itch I’ve wanted to scratch and there isn’t any another place than London that I would want to start that journey.”<\/p>\n

Yee overhauled New Zealand’s Hayden Wilde in the closing stages in Paris to win his first Olympic title<\/a> in August, before winning the world title<\/a> for the first time in October by finishing third in the final in Spain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
