A record-high number of 55,646 runners finished the race, making this New York City Marathon the world's largest marathon to date.[2]

Background

edit

For the 2024 event, New York City Road Runners announced applications for the race exceeded 165,000 athletes, the second highest since the inception of the race.[3]

Results

edit

Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands won the men's race with a time of 2:07:39, with Evans Chebet and Albert Korir of Kenya finishing second and third, respectively. Conner Mantz finished sixth in 2:09:00, which is the fastest finish for an American man since Alberto Salazar in 1981.[4]

Sheila Chepkirui of Kenya won the women's race with a time of 2:24:35, with Hellen Obiri and Vivian Cheruiyot finishing second and third, respectively.[5]

About 2 thousand runners were able to run under 3 hours, including YouTube celebrity, Casey Neistat. This also includes 178 women under the age of 40, about twice the previous high (90 in 2019). This is likely a consequence of the new method for using qualifying times from non-NYRR to earn guaranteed entry to the race.[6]
