Albert Korir and Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya have won the New York City Marathon. Korir took the men's competition two years after coming in second. Jepchirchir became the first woman to win a marathon major in the fall after winning an Olympic gold medal.
It was Korir’s first victory in one of the World Marathon Majors and his first time atop any podium since winning the Ottawa Race Weekend Marathon in 2019.Korir and fellow Kenyan Kibwott Kandie were side by side as they passed El Aaraby and Faniel, but Kandie — the world record holder in the half marathon — fell off in his marathon debut.
Jepchirchir broke away from countrywoman Viola Cheptoo and Ethiopia’s Ababel Yeshaneh in the final mile of the race after the trio ran side by side from the Bronx back down through Manhattan. Molly Seidel finished fourth in her first race since taking bronze in Tokyo, becoming the first American woman since Deena Kastor in 2004 to earn an Olympic medal.

The 50th edition of the NYC Marathon will certainly test that.
