Claim
The race was won by Ehtopias'S Shura Itata in a time of 2:05:41.
Correction

The 2020 London Marathon men's winner was Shura Kitata of Ethiopia, not “Shura Itata.”

Full reasoning

World Athletics' official race report for the 2020 London Marathon names the men's winner as Shura Kitata (ETH) in 2:05:41. The article's sentence gives the correct time but the wrong athlete name.

This is not just a spelling variation of the same surname: the official result lists Kitata, and the report headline itself says “Kitata conquers Kipchoge”.

Claim
Not part of WMM
Correction

By 2025, the Sydney Marathon was part of Abbott World Marathon Majors, not outside it.

Full reasoning

Abbott World Marathon Majors says the series consists of seven races and explicitly includes the TCS Sydney Marathon presented by ASICS. Its Sydney announcement page says Sydney joined the series in 2025 as the seventh member and that Sydney's first edition as a Major took place on August 31, 2025.

So labeling the 2025 Sydney Marathon as “Not part of WMM” is incorrect: 2025 was the first year Sydney was an Abbott World Marathon Major.

Claim
thus completing all six World Marathon Major courses.
Correction

By late 2025 there were seven World Marathon Majors, and Kipchoge had already run Sydney as well.

Full reasoning

This sentence is outdated/inaccurate for 2025. Abbott World Marathon Majors states that Sydney joined the series in 2025 as the seventh Major. World Athletics' official results show Kipchoge ran the Sydney Marathon on August 31, 2025, finishing 9th in 2:08:31.

Because Kipchoge then ran New York on November 2, 2025, New York did not leave him with only 'all six' Major courses completed. By that point, the Major series had seven races, and Kipchoge had competed in Sydney as well.

Claim
Last marathon as competitive elite runner
Correction

New York was not Kipchoge's last marathon as a competitive elite runner: he announced a two-year world tour of seven more marathons afterward.

Full reasoning

This note is contradicted by announcements made immediately after the 2025 New York City Marathon. On 3 November 2025, World Athletics reported that Kipchoge had launched a World Tour that would see him compete in seven marathons across seven continents over the next two years, and described it as combining elite racing with fundraising.

Kipchoge's own Eliud's Running World site likewise says that during the next 2 years, Eliud competes in 7 marathons on all continents. That means the 2025 New York City Marathon was not his last marathon as a competitive elite runner.
