  • PA Media reported Stefan Otway as the quickest man on the course.
  • Organisers say runners have raised more than £75m for charitable causes since the event began in 2018.
  • Starts rolled from Whitehall in named waves between 9:15 and 10:40, including Heart, Lightning, Cheetah, Dragon, Tommy’s, Sunshine, Rainbow, Diamond and Royal.
