The New York Marathon takes place in the Big Apple on Sunday with over 50,000 runners aiming to complete the course. That number includes some of the fastest long-distance professionals in the world.
Tamirat Tola is back after winning the men’s event in in 2:04:58 last year. The Ethiopian won gold at the Paris Olympics and is seen as the favourite to cross the line first in New York. Bashir Abdi, the Belgian who won silver in the summer games, is out to stop him. Kenyan duo Evans Chebet and Albert Korir are also contenders.
As for the women, Hellen Obiri is eyeing first place. She won bronze in Paris despite an injury-disrupted build-up to the event. She is the reigning champion and will not give up that status without a fight. Sharon Lokedi, another former winner, is also worth watching.
