Marathon Major · All match hubs

Editor's brief

This match hub is editor-led on the athletics desk. We open the fixture page once Marathon Major team news clears sourcing and the verified squad list is locked. As soon as the match window opens we populate the live incident log from the press-conference round-up, the verified tour or tour-equivalent feed and the verified broadcaster feed; the desk will not publish incidents off rumours or single-source social posts.

Fixtures in this series

• Marathon Major vs See elite field · London Marathon 2026

What to watch

• Selection picture: Elite field is set three weeks before the race. The pacemaker plan is announced at the pre-race press conference on Friday.

• Injury report: See athlete-by-athlete report is the fitness doubt the desk is tracking. The return-to-play read and the verified medical update will be added to the live log as soon as the club statement is published.
