New York City Marathon 2024: What You Need to Know
Briefly

The 2024 New York City Marathon promises to serve up exciting races, with Tamirat Tola of Ethiopia defending the men's title and Kenya's Hellen Obiri defending the women's.
Last year, Tola, 33, broke a 12-year-old course record with a time of 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 58 seconds. He followed that effort up by winning the Paris Olympics marathon with yet another course record of 2:06:26, notably as a substitute for injured teammate Sisay Lemma.
The NYC Marathon is a grind, boasting a race course that many marathoners love, and others love to hate. It’s three parts running and one part party.
Participants who brave the bridges, tackle the elevation gains, and embrace the huge crowds can brag about that Central Park finish for a lifetime.
