Nice point of the markings around the village. But didn't Tobirama do the same then? Moreover, Minato could just then warp everyone closer.

The other hokages only arrived after Minato marked the battlefield. Hiruzen commented on Minato's speed when he arrived. EMS Sasuke slower than Minato. Sasuke was eager to get to the battlefield before the hokages were reanimated. So there is motivation for him to run at his maximum. Naruto mentioned that 'Sasuke' was taking longer to get there.
