New York Marathon 2023 preview
Ethiopians Tamirat Tola and Shura Kitata are the big-name contenders headlining the elite men’s field at the New York City marathon this Sunday, though the elite women’s lineup, featuring a who’s who of world-leading talents, is shaping up as the strongest there’s ever been.
Looking to win big are 2021 New York Marathon winner and Olympic Champion Peres Jepchirchir, former world record holder Brigid Kosgei, reigning New York Marathon champion Sharon Lokedi, Hellen Obiri, a Boston Marathon winner, and Letesenbet Gidey, the World Half-Marathon record holder.
In the men’s event, Tola, the 2022 World Championship Gold medallist who won the 2023 Great North Run and finished third at this year’s London Marathon, is the pre-race favourite, but it’ll be a close-run thing with 2020 London Marathon winner and two-time New York runner-up Kitata chopping at his heels. Throw Abdi Nageeye, the Olympic Silver medallist, into the mix and it could be a legitimate three-way scrap.
Many eyes will be on the Paris Olympics next year, and this notoriously tough race, leading runners through all five boroughs of NYC, counts towards qualification. It won’t be a race for breaking records, but it will be one with a spectacular backdrop. The fun begins in Staten Island and end in Central Park with Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx en route.
With over 50,000 runners expected to pound the pavements in the largest marathon in the world, the last of the six majors of 2023 promises an exciting end to the season. Read on as we explain how to watch a 2023 New York Marathon live stream from anywhere.
