Among the entrants for the 2024 New York City Marathon will be reigning men’s champion Tamirat Tola of Ethiopia, who won the 2023 race in a course-record 2:04.58 and will be back to defend his title a few months after winning the marathon at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris in an Olympic-record 2:06.26.

History-making Hellen Obiri of Kenya also will be back to defend her title at the New York City Marathon. She won the 2023 race in 2:27.23, while becoming the first woman in more than three decades to win both the Boston Marathon and New York City Marathon in the same year.

Though Obiri was able to return to Boston in April and win her second consecutive Boston Marathon, she fell short at the Olympics, settling for the bronze medal. 

Other elite men scheduled to be in New York are Belgium’s Bashir Abdi, Kenyans Geoffrey Kamworor, Albert Korir and Evans Chebet, and Americans Conner Mantz and Clayton Young.

On the women’s side with Obiri will be Kenya’s Peres Jepchirchir, Sharon Lokedi, Edna Kiplagat and Vivian Cheruiyot, Ethiopia’s Tirunesh Dibaba and a trio of Americans – Des Linden, Aliphine Tuliamuk and Jenny Simpson.
