Sheila Chepkirui, from Kenya, won in 2 hours, 24 minutes, 35 seconds. Abdi Nageeye's winning time was 2:07.39. He is the first winner from the Netherlands.

A riveting competition ended with one-on-one clashes in both the men’s and women’s races, and with three Kenyans on the women’s podium.

Nageeye had run the New York race three times before, with his previous best finish being third in 2022. The winner that year was Kenya's Evans Chebet, and Chebet almost secured another victory this weekend as he and Nageeye were battling it out heading into Central Park.
