The performance must meet the criteria to be ratified as a world record by World Athletics. Ratification can happen after the end of 2026 as long as the race itself was held before the end of 2026.
This is a cumulative probability market, meaning all applicable answers will resolve YES, so e.g. if the WR stands at 1:59:15, both "Below 1:59:30" and "Below 1:59:20" will resolve YES.
