The wheelchair races served as that year's World Para Athletics Marathon Championships. American Daniel Romanchuk won the men's title in 1:33:38 hours while Switzerland's Manuela Schär won the women's title in 1:44:09.[2]

In the under-17 Mini Marathon, the 3-mile able-bodied and wheelchair events were won by Henry McLuckie (14:25), Beatrice Wood (16:35), Zhou Zien (12:55) and Merle Menje (14:09).[3]

A total of 414,168 people applied to enter the race: 56,398 had their applications accepted and 42,906 started the race.[4] A total of 42,485 runners, 24,735 men and 17,750 women, finished the race.[5]

FieldEdit

The favourite for the men's race was Eliud Kipchoge, winner of the 2015, 2016, and 2018 editions.[6] Abraham Kiptum was due to race but did not compete due to a biological passport violation,[7] and was later suspended in November for an anti-doping violation.[8] A much anticipated appearance was from Briton Mo Farah despite being an underdog and the bookkeeper's second favourite pick.[9] Shura Kitata, runner-up in the 2018 edition, also competed.[6]

In the women's race, defending champion Vivian Cheruiyot and three-time London Marathon winner Mary Keitany were favourites.[10] David Weir was favourite in the men's wheelchair race, having won a total of nine editions of the race.[11] 2018 winner Madison de Rozario raced along with five-time New York City Marathon winner Tatyana McFadden, and Manuela Schär in the women's wheelchair race.[11]
