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.

The Netherlands’ Abdi Nageeye won a thrilling men’s race at the New York City marathon on Sunday while Kenya’s Sheila Chepkirui marked her debut with a victory in the women’s race.
