New York City Marathon live: Latest times, updates and results from Eliud Kipchoge’s farewell race

The elite women are through halfway in 01:11:01, with a six-strong pack opening up. That includes the last three winners, Sheila Chepkiru, Hellen Obiri and Sharon Lokedi, the Olympic champion Sifan Hassan, and the Americans Fiona O’Keefe and Annie Frisbie.

Susannah Scaroni makes it back-to-back wins at the New York marathon with a dominant win on the streets of the Big Apple, coming home in 1:42:10. The American makes it three wins from four in New York – and improves a magnificent season that has also brought wins in Chicago, Boston and Sydney.

Catherine Dubrunner looks to be second and five-time winner Tatyana McFadden third.

The Silver Bullet strikes again! Marcel Hug extends his winning run at the majors with another dominant race – coming home in 1:30:16 to add his sixth consecutive victory at the majors. He’s won at Boston, London, Chicago and Sydney this year – and has now won New York.

What a wonderful sight it is to see Eliud Kipchoge crossing Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge and among the early pack.

15:11 for the first 5k split.

Marcel Hug is closing in on victory in New York, with the Swiss over three minutes ahead of David Weir with just a few miles to go. Susannah Scaroni has an even greater lead over Catherine Debrunner in the women’s race.

There’s a pack of around 13 of the elite women starting to form as they go through 10km in 33:53. Ethiopia’s Gotytom Gebreslase, the former world champion and winner in Berlin, is not among them.

Eliud Kipchoge begins his first New York City marathon as the elite men’s race and the open start gets underway! It would be a fairytale for Kipchoge to win his first race since Berlin in 2023 one week before he turns 41, and in what is expected to be his final elite marathon.

Fellow veteran Kenenisa Bekele, the third-fastest man in history, also lined up on the start line, as well as defending champion Abdi Nageeye, Olympic bronze medallist Benson Kipruto and Alexander Mutiso.

An opening 5km split of 17:05 for the elite women, who are now underway in New York City having left the Staten Island start line.

Former champion Helen Obiri leads the large pack at the front – in the trio of Kenyans who have won this race since 2022, along with Sheila Chepkiru and Sharon Lokedi.

“Chasing that Six Star will actually cement my legacy,” the former world record holder and two-time Olmypic champion said.

“It will make me a real marathoner all round. The Six Star has been my goal since I stepped in marathon.

“It takes time to do all the six, it takes patience, but patience pays.”

Marcel Hug finished ahead of Great Britain’s David Weir to win the Chicago Marathon last month and the Swiss has opened up a 52-second lead over Weir through the first 10 miles in New York. The ‘Silver Bullet’, who owns the course record in New York, is starting to pull clear. Susannah Scaroni leads by a similar margin in the women’s elite wheelchair race.
