Kenyans Benson Kipruto, Hellen Obiri Win NYC Marathon

  • At the TCS New York City Marathon on Sunday, Hellen Obiri of Kenya set a women’s course record with 2:19:51, surpassing Margaret Okayo's 2003 mark.
  • After Mile 20, the lead trio separated and were within milliseconds at Mile 23 before Obiri tucked behind Sharon Lokedi, then surged to pull clear in the final mile.
  • Obiri collected $150,000 after winning, with Sharon Lokedi second in 2:20:07 and Sheila Chepkirui third in 2:20:04; all finished inside the old 2:22:31 mark.
  • The race outcome left organizers noting Kenyan athletes finishing in the top three positions in both the men's and women's races, while Marcel Hug and Susannah Scaroni defended their wheelchair titles, each earning $50,000.
  • Obiri, who also won in 2023, reinforces Kenya's sustained strength with the seventh consecutive women's professional marathon win, excluding the 2020 canceled event.
