Sunday’s TCS London Marathon 2023 saw some exceptional racing at the front, with the exciting Elite races being won by Kelvin Kiptum (KEN) and Siffan Hasan (NED), respectively.

As always, we spotted plenty of triathletes – past and present – taking on the 26.2 miles around the roads of London. Those of course included paratriathlon star, Jetze Plat, who we covered yesterday courtesy of his fantastic second place in the men’s T53/54 event.

Listed below are some of the speedy triathlon names we spotted. Of course, we’ve no doubt there are plenty that we’ve missed, as scanning thousands of lines of results and trying to remember names is hardly a scientific approach… so if we’ve missed you out, then a) apologies, and b) drop us a quick note via editorial@tri247.com. Don’t be shy – we really do appreciate your help!

This is a live work-in-progress and will be updated regularly as we spot and/or get updated on any notable names we’ve missed!
