The 2018 IAAF Road Race Label Events were the eleventh edition of the global series of road running competitions given Label status by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF). The series included a total of 115 road races: 56 Gold, 26 Silver and 33 Bronze. In terms of distance, 75 races were marathons, 26 were half marathons, 9 were 10K runs, and 4 were held over other distances. The series included all six World Marathon Majors in the Gold category.
Notably during this season, Eluid Kipchoge broke the Marathon world record, lowering it to 2:01:39. Sifan Hassan also broke the Half marathon European record in 1:05:15. In October, Abraham Kiptum ran the Valencia Half Marathon in 58:18, which would have been a world record, but a year later this world record was nullified due to a doping violation.
