Tamirat Tola is the name to track during the 53rd edition of the event as he aims to topple his own record in the Big Apple.

The reigning champion set a course record of 2:04:58 last year.

The 33-year-old was called up to the Ethiopian marathon squad for Paris 2024 as a last-minute replacement following an injury to a teammate two weeks before the Games. He secured Olympic gold over the notoriously difficult course.

The women’s marathon will see Hellen Obiri, the first winner of both the Boston and New York marathons in a calendar year since 1989, return to defend her crown.
