Past champions and hopefuls endeavoring to etch their names among some of the greatest distance runners of all time will line up at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island at the base of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge at the starting point for the 26.2 mile race, then traverse the arduous course through the five boroughs before ending in Central Park at 68th Street.
The women’s race will be equally loaded with a trio of Kenyans: 2022 NYC victor Sharon Lokedi, 2021 champion Peres Jepchirchir, and Brigid Kosgei, a five-time Abbott World Marathon Majors race winner which includes wins in London and Chicago . They are all expected to be at or near the front in the race’s closing miles.
