In a fitting theme for the city of Broadway, the 53rd edition of the New York City Marathon was all about breakout stars finally getting their time in the spotlight. Both winners of the men’s and women’s elite races in NYC are frequently recurring characters near the front of major races, but neither had completed a signature performance before today.
Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands and Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya won their first World Marathon Major titles by defeating fields full of former NYC champs, with Nageeye outkicking 2022 champ Evans Chebet down the homestretch and Chepkirui beating 2023 champ Hellen Obiri at her own game with a late surge through Central Park.

The women’s race delivered, giving us the Obiri/Lokedi duel we’d been hoping for, although it didn’t quite last as long as we’d hoped with Lokedi fading towards the end. Instead, Sheila Chepkirui was the one who took the mantle of racing Obiri stride for stride and elbow for elbow. In the end, Chepkirui had a bit more kick and secured her first New York title. . The American women also performed quite well. I had predicted that Jess McClain would have a great day, which she did by coming in 8th overall as 2nd American. She was nudged out by last minute addition, Sara Vaughn, who had DNF’d in Chicago just a few weeks ago. I felt like Sara Vaughn finally got that solid marathon result that she’s been looking for in the past several builds, as did Kellyn Taylor, who came in 10th as the third American. . 📹 Kofuzi, @chaseflemingphoto
