The 2024 New York City Marathon was a significant event with over 50,000 runners and a massive turnout of over a million spectators. Abdi Nageeye from the Netherlands won the men's race in 2 hours, 7 minutes, and 39 seconds, while Kenya's Sheila Chepkirui claimed victory in the women's race with a time of 2 hours, 24 minutes, and 35 seconds. The marathon featured remarkable stories such as Danielle Grimley completing her first marathon on crutches due to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, and Mario Bollini finishing despite a knee injury. Additionally, Daniel Romanchuk won the men's wheelchair division for the third time, while Susannah Scaroni captured the women's wheelchair title. The event is not only a test of endurance but also a platform for charitable causes, as runners like David Rauschberg participated to honor loved ones. This year's marathon highlighted both elite performances and personal triumphs, marking a memorable edition with diverse narratives of resilience and community support.
