The New York City Marathon will bid farewell to Eliud Kipchoge as the former world record holder and two-time Olympic champion competes over the distance in an elite race for what is expected to be the final time.

Kipchoge, who turns 41 next week, will be making his debut in New York to complete the seven-star set of world major marathons. At which point, the Kenyan has said he will embark on a “new journey” of “extreme” running challenges.

Kipchoge has run four of the 10 fastest marathons in history and became the first man to break the two-hour barrier, unofficially, in 2019. Kipchoge set his last world record in Berlin in 2022, which was then broken by the late Kelvin Kiptum.

In New York, Kipchoge will compete against fellow veteran Kenenisa Bekele, the third-fastest man in history, as well as defending champion Abdi Nageeye, Olympic bronze medallist Benson Kipruto and Alexander Mutiso.

Olympic champion Sifan Hassan headlines the women’s race but will face competition from the last three winners of the race, the Kenyan trio of Sheila Chepkiru, Hellen Obiri, Sharon Lokedi, and Ethiopia’s Gotytom Gebreslase.

New York City Marathon: Closing stages of women’s race

We reach the leafy edges of Central Park and this is anyone’s race between Chepkiru, Obiri and Lokedi – the three winners of the New York marathon in the past three years. Where will it go?

The men have got through 30km in 1:32:21, and Albert Korir is looking strong at the head of what remains a large leading pack.

New York City Marathon: Will we see a record time?

Could Margaret Okayo’s 22-year-old record of 2:22:31 be under threat in New York? Chepkiru, Obiri and Lokedi have all won the New York marathon before and they are going to push for a history-making time over the final few kilometers, in perfect conditions.

New York City Marathon: Kipchoge slipping out of contention

What a brilliant run this has been from Great Britain’s Patrick Dever – who is right there with the leading pack through the first two-thirds of the New York Marathon.

Albert Korir is looking strong, but I think Eliud Kipchoge may have fallen off the leading pack and is slipping out of contention.

Indeed, Kipchoge is now in the second pack – with Norway’s Moen and the defending champion Nageeye.

New York City Marathon:

As if working together, Chepkiru, Obiri and Lokedi put their foot on the gas to seperate themselves from O’Keefe and Hassan again. Hassan has really dropped off, following a brutal uphill section. Into the final 10km or so.

New York City Marathon: Sifan Hassan battles back

Never count out Sifan Hassan! The Olympic champion was at one stage 17 seconds off the lead but has reeled in the Kenyan trio, along with the sole American O’Keeffe.

Through 30km in 01:40:11. Heading into the closing stages in Manhattan.

New York City Marathon: Men reach halfway stage

The men are not on course to threaten the New York record – a halfway split of 01:05:18.

It’s an interesting lead group, comprised of also Japan’s Yudai Fukuda and Norway’s Sondre Nordstad Moen as well as Alexnader Mutiso. But it’s still rather sprawling, with Kipchoge still there with Kori and Kipruto.

New York City Marathon: Movement in the women’s race!

A key moment in the women’s race as the leaders come off the Queensboro Bridge and cross into Manhattan. Sheila Chepkiru, Hellen Obiri and Sharon Lokedi have broken clear of Fiona O’Keefe, with Sifan Hassan a bit further behind. The Olympic champion is by no means out of this, but the three former winners and Kenyan trio of Chepkiru, Obiri and Lokedi have opened up some room.

New York City Marathon: Men’s race taking shape

So let’s run down the men’s contenders as we approach halfway, with the leading pack through 15km in 46:01.

We have the USA’s Hillary Bor, Kenya’s Benson Kipruto, Albert Korir and Abel Kipchumba, France’s Felix Bour and Great Britain’s Patrick Dever all going strong – but there are many more within touching distance, and we’ve yet to see a breakaway just yet.

Eliud Kipchoge is there too.
