For the first time in 41 years, an American woman has won the New York City Marathon. Shalane Flanagan came in first place, running the race in2 hours, 26 minutes and 53 seconds dethroning the three-time defending champion, Mary Keitany of Kenya, probably the most feared runner in this year's race. Keitany placed second, 59 seconds behind Flanagan.
"I knew that it was possible," said Flanagan. "I believe amazing things can happen. My coaches told me that it was possible. The training that I put inwas the best I've ever had. They made me believe that today it could happen if I just ran a tactically sound race."
The New York City Marathon has grown from a race in Central Park with 55 finishers to the world's biggest and most popular marathon. Over
51,000 professional and amateur runners finished the race in 2016. Runners start in Staten Island and run the course through all five of the city's boroughs; Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan, now concluding in the iconic park. A run of 26.2 total miles.
