From celebrity sightings to record-setting runs, here are some of the best photos from the 2026 New York City Marathon.
Over 240,000 individuals applied for the 2026 New York City Marathon lottery, with only about 1% gaining entry. This year's marathon, organized by New York Road Runners (NYRR), saw 61,146 participants finish the 26.2-mile course, setting a new record. The race, the world's largest, took place on November 1 and transformed New York City into a racetrack.
Celebrities such as Jennifer Connelly, Casey Neistat, and Tracy Morgan joined the event. Runners began at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, crossed the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, and navigated through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx before concluding in Central Park. The race featured professionals in wheelchair, women's, and men's divisions, with temperatures ranging from the low 50s at the start to mid-60s in the afternoon.
The youngest participant was 18-year-old Lucy Weld, and the oldest was 90-year-old Danil Farkash from the US.
