Executive Briefing
According to reporting by CBS News US National, Tens of thousands of runners are participating in the 2026 TCS New York City marathon.
Detailed Factual Report
Tens of thousands of runners from across the world are taking part in the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon Sunday morning, an iconic race that will take them through all five boroughs , beginning in Staten Island and finishing up in Manhattan's Central Park.
The 26.2-mile course is lined with crowds of people who flock annually to the marathon to watch loved ones and strangers alike compete in the event. Participants run the race in waves. On Sunday, the men's and women's professional wheelchair division kicked off the marathon from its starting point in Fort Wadsworth at around 8 a.m. ET, followed by hancyclists and select athletes with disabilities, and then the professional women's and men's open divisions. After that, five separate waves of runners start the marathon at different times between around 9 and 11:30 a.m.
Kenyan long-distance stars Hellen Obiri and Benson Kipruto returned to the New York City Marathon this year as its defending champions, after Obiri won the women's open division and Kipruto won the men's division in 2025. Swedish runner Andreas Almgren, the World Half Marathon champion, joined them in his highly anticipated full marathon debut, as did Conner Mantz, the American marathon record-holder, who earned that title after completing the Chicago Marathon in 2 hours, 4 minutes and 43 seconds last year.
