Kenya's Sheila Chepkirui, in her first New York City Marathon, won decisively with a time of 2:24:35, outpacing defending champion Hellen Obiri in the final mile.
Obiri was vying to be the first repeat champion since Mary Keitany's three consecutive wins from 2014 to 2016, but finished 15 seconds behind Chepkirui.
Sara Vaughn was the top American finisher, trailing the lead pack heading into Mile 20 before ultimately finishing sixth; she was a last-minute entry due to prior cancellations.
In the wheelchair races, Daniel Romanchuk ended Marcel Hug's three-year winning streak, while Susannah Scaroni secured her second victory in New York, marking a historic win for American athletes.
