According to Official Guinness Records,

On 13 April 2003, Paula Radcliffe (UK) completed the London Marathon in 2 hours 15 minutes 25 seconds. She beat her own record by almost two minutes in a race that included eight male pacemakers.Since 2011, the IAAF has acknowledged two world-record times in the women’s marathon – in “mixed gender” and “women-only” races. Radcliffe held both records until Mary Keitany (Kenya) set a new women-only best of 2 hours 17 minutes 1 second at the 2017 London Marathon.
