America's Jessica McClain finishes second as Sheila Chepkirui reclaims NYC Marathon title: Full list of winners

Sweden's Andreas Almgren secured victory in the New York City Marathon, while Kenya's Sheila Chepkirui reclaimed her title for the second consecutive year. Almgren crossed the finish line in 2:06:01, a first-ever marathon win for a Swedish runner, leading Italy's Yemaneberhan Crippa by 13 seconds. Chepkirui finished six seconds ahead of American Jess McClain, marking her second title at the NYC Marathon in three years.

McClain's second-place finish was historic, as it marked the first time an American man or woman reached the podium since Shalane Flanagan finished third in 2018. At the Olympic Trials, McClain finished fourth in both the marathon and 10,000m events, and she aims to make her first Olympic appearance at the 2028 marathon trials in St. Louis.

Zouhair Talbi, representing Morocco, secured sixth place in the men's race with a time of 2:06:43, faster than America's course record set by Alberto Salazar in 1981. Talbi, who will switch to representing the United States in August 2027, finished 35th at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
