On Sunday, November 2, the four-time World Marathon Major champion averaged 4:53 mile pace through the five boroughs, beating Mutiso by three-hundredths of a second in Central Park. Following a third-place finish last year, Albert Korir placed third again in 2:08:57.

The New York City Marathon made history on Sunday with a course record set in the women’s competition and the closest race ever on the men’s side, which was decided by a fraction of a second.
