Masters M35 marathon world record progression explained

Masters M35 marathon world record progression is the progression of world record improvements of the marathon M35 division of Masters athletics. Records must be set in properly conducted, official competitions under the standing IAAF rules unless modified by World Masters Athletics.

The M35 division consists of male athletes who have reached the age of 35 but have not yet reached the age of 40, so exactly from their 35th birthday to the day before their 40th birthday. Marathon running is not normally seeded into age divisions so all of these records were set in marathon race open to most other age groups.

Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge, age 37 at the time, set a world record for men of 2:01:09 on September 25, 2022, at the 2022 Berlin Marathon.[1] Gebrselassie, Lopes and Peters also set the open division world record at the time they set the M35 record.
