The 2024 New York City Marathon has crowned its winners. Kenyan runner Sheila Chepkirui won the women’s competition, while Abdi Nageeye from the Netherlands won the men’s competition.
In the women’s race, the field was eventually whittled down to Chepkirui and Hellen Obiri, with the two Kenyan women battling it out in the final mile. But Chepkirui defeated Obiri in the final stretch to beat the defending champion with a time of 2:24:35.
The men’s pack slowly thinned out in the final kilometers, eventually leaving only Nageeye and the Kenyan Evans Chebet with less than two miles left. In the final sprint, Nageeye pushed ahead of Chebet and finished first with a time of 2:07:39.
The Americans Daniel Romanchuk and Susannah Scaroni won the wheelchair division; Romanchuk, now a three-time winner, finished the race in 1:36:31, while Scaroni cruised to a time of 1:48:05 for her second win.
