Winners of the New York City Marathon 2021 include Olympic champions Peres Jepchirchir (Women) and Albert Korir (Men) on Sunday, November 7th.
On her first Olympic competition, Jepchirchir won the gold medal; now, in her first effort in New York, she has repeated that feat.
The defending Olympic champion set the pace early on, pulled away from teammate Kenyan Viola Cheptoo, and won by four seconds. Ethiopian runner Ababel Yeshaneh placed third.
U.S. runner Molly Seidel, who won bronze at the Tokyo Marathon in 2020, was fourth overall. Shortly later, in the professional men’s race, Albert Korir of Kenya also finished first.
The 27-year-victory old’s here was the largest of his career, and it came 44 seconds clear of runner-up Mohamed Reda El Aaraby of Morocco, with Italy’s Eyob Faniel taking third.

The 2021 New York City Marathon is Won by Albert Korir.
Korir crossed the finish line first, followed by Jepchirchir, increasing the volume of Kenya’s jubilation.
The Ethiopian Kenenisa Bekele, who came into the race having placed third in Berlin on September 26, and his four Olympic medals were the subject of much discussion leading up to the start of the event.
Bekele fell behind the early fast pace set by El Aaraby of Morocco and Eyob Faniel of Italy, while Korir patiently waited for the proper moment to strike, running at his own pace and eventually taking the lead with around 10 kilometres (6 miles) to go.
The 27-year-old showed no mercy and was never threatened, amassing a 44-second lead over El Aaraby in second and taking home his first major championship.
