Completing the course in 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 58 seconds, Tola eclipsed the former best time of 2:05:06, set by Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya a decade earlier. Tola’s decisive move came as he and fellow Ethiopian Jemel Yimer approached the 20-mile mark near the Bronx. Gaining a significant lead by the 21-mile point, Tola was already 19 seconds ahead, with Mutai’s time firmly in his sights. The contest for the women’s title was a closer affair, with the lead changing hands multiple times among Obiri, Ethiopia’s Letesenbet Gidey, and the prior year’s winner, Sharon Lokedi. The pivotal moment for Obiri unfolded as she surged ahead during the last half-mile in Central Park, stopping the clock at 2:27:23. Gidey crossed the finish line a mere 6 seconds later to claim second place.
