Whereas only Americans and top athletes will be able to participate, the mythical New York marathon will take place this Sunday, November 7. It will still be possible to follow the race from France, while the triple Olympic champion in the 5,000 and 10,000 meters Kenenisa Bekele intends to tackle the race record held by the Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai (2h05 ‘5”) and hope to “go down in history”.
On the women’s side, 5 athletes who will be on the starting line have a record below the best time of the New York event (2 h 22 min 38 s by Joyciline Jepkosgei): the Kenyans Peres Jepchirchir and Nancy Kiprop, the Ethiopians Ruti Aga and Ababel Yeshaneh as well as the Namibian Helalia Johannes. Which should leave room for a nice show.
There will also be competition for the wheelchair race with a duel between the winner of 2018 and 2019, Daniel Romanchuk and a triple winner (2013, 2016 and 2017), Marcel Hug. Among the women, we will especially note the participation of Manuela Schär, victorious in the last 3 editions, and the American Tatyana McFadden, who has already won 5 times in New York.
