Former world record holder Brigid Kosgei broke the course record at the 2026 Tokyo Marathon, taking the women's title and claiming her sixth World Marathon Majors title: 2018 Chicago Marathon 2:18:35 2019 London Marathon 2:18:20 2019 Chicago Marathon 2:14:04 (WR) 2020 London Marathon 2:18:58 2022 Tokyo Marathon 2:16:02 2026 Tokyo Marathon 2:14:29 After winning last year's Shanghai Marathon and setting the fastest women's full marathon time ever recorded in China, Kosgei carried that strong form into 2026. The Tokyo victory brought her back onto the Majors podium for the first time in four years — will she continue to add to her honors on the road ahead? In the women's marathon scene, Kosgei is now the second-most successful athlete in Majors history; only Mary Jepkosgei Keitany stands ahead of her. The Kenyan legend claimed seven Majors titles, including four New York City Marathon wins and three London Marathon wins. It's worth noting that Britain's Paula Radcliffe also won three New York City Marathons, three London Marathons and one Chicago Marathon, but the Majors series was only established in 2006 — by that accounting she has just two Majors victories. Now Kosgei is only one Major behind the all-time leader. Which race will she target next — familiar Chicago, or will she seek new ground in New York or Berlin? #World Marathon Majors#Tokyo Marathon#Shanghai Marathon#Kosgei#Chicago Marathon#London Marathon#Berlin Marathon#New York City Marathon#Boston Marathon
