Nageeye had run the New York race three times before, with his previous best finish being third in 2022. The winner that year was Kenya's Evans Chebet, and Chebet almost secured another victory this weekend as he and Nageeye were battling it out heading into Central Park.

Kenya's Sheila Chepkirui and the Netherland's Abdi Nageeye both used strong finishes to come out on top of crowded fields at the TCS New York City Marathon.
