NYC Marathon

This year, 42,000 runners hit the pavement for the NYC Marathon. The winners: Edna Kiplagat of Kenya took home the women's title, and Gebre Gebremariam of Ethiopia took home the men's.

This marks Edna's first major marathon title, winning with a time of 2:28:20. This was 26 year old Gebre's first NYC Marathon and he finished the course in 2:08:14. Gebre ran alone for the last two miles of the race and had a full one minute advantage over the second place winner, Emmmanuel Mutai of Kenya.

Congrats to everyone the participated in the NYC Marathon. What an achievement!
