Marcel Hug Wins London Marathon Wheelchair Race for Sixth Straight Year

What changed

Marcel Hug won the elite men’s wheelchair race at the 2026 London Marathon. It was his sixth consecutive victory in the capital and his eighth overall.

Why it matters

That makes Hug’s London record the story, not just the result. Winning once can be a breakthrough; winning six times in a row turns one race into a sustained mark of dominance.

The eighth victory also gives the achievement unusual weight. No finishing time, margin or prize details are provided, so the clearest conclusion is the simplest one: Hug keeps finding a way to win London’s elite wheelchair race, year after year.
