The 2013 New York City Marathon took place on Sunday, November 3, 2013, and was the 43rd edition of that race.[1] It followed a one-year hiatus after the 2012 New York City Marathon was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy.[2] Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya won the men's division with a time of 2:08:24, his second consecutive win in New York.[3] Priscah Jeptoo, also from Kenya, won the women's division with a time of 2:25:07.[4] The two winners each received $100,000 in prize money,[5] with Jeptoo capturing the World Marathon Majors title for $500,000.[6]
In the women's wheelchair division, Tatyana McFadden of the U.S. completed a historic sweep of the Boston, London, Chicago, and New York marathons in the same year, winning in 1:59:13.[7] She became the first person to win four major marathons in a single calendar year.[8] Switzerland's Marcel Hug won the men's wheelchair division in 1:40:14.[9]
A record high of 50,740 runners participated, of which 50,304 finished the marathon. This was the largest number of participants of any marathon in history. The marathon also saw its one-millionth overall finisher cross the line since its start in 1970.[10] The marathon was sponsored by ING Group.
Security was notably increased at the marathon, following the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings, with baggage screenings, surveillance helicopters, and inspection of runners, among other measures.[5]
Race summary
The wheelchair division was scheduled to start at 8:30 a.m. EST, the elite women's division at 9:10 a.m., and the elite men's division at 9:40 a.m. The last wave of runners was scheduled to start at 10:55 a.m.[11] At 9:00 a.m., the temperature at the starting line was a cool and windy 46 °F (8 °C), with a headwind for much of the race, which approached 20 mph (32 km/h) and hampered the runners.
Women's division
After the first 3.1 mi (5 km), Buzunesh Deba, the eventual second-place finisher, and Tigist Tufa Demisse, the eventual eighth-place finisher, had taken a significant lead, 80 seconds ahead of the rest of the pack. At 12.4 miles (20 km) into the race, Deba and Tufa Demisse were 3 minutes ahead of the rest of the pack. Eventual winner Priscah Jeptoo trailed by 3:30 at the halfway point. Deba and Tufa Demisse maintained their lead after 16 mi (26 km), as the race entered Manhattan.
Jeptoo closed to 1:30 behind the lead by the 20 mi (32 km) mark, after breaking from the pack on the Queensboro Bridge. With 3 mi (4.8 km) left, Deba was still in first place, while Jeptoo had overtaken Tufa Demisse for second place and drawn to 38 seconds behind Deba. Jeptoo caught up to Deba in Central Park just before 24 mi (39 km) into the race, then overtook Deba to win the race, finishing 48 seconds ahead in 2:25:07.
Men's division
After the first 3.1 mi (5 km), Meb Keflezighi, the eventual 23rd-place finisher, led with a time of 15:42. The men's race had a tighter lead pack than the women's for the first 20 mi (32 km), when Geoffrey Mutai, the eventual winner, and Stanley Biwott, the eventual fifth-place finisher, broke away from the pack. Mutai and Biowtt continued to lead the pack after 22 mi (35 km). Mutai then pulled ahead of Biwott to lead by 9 seconds after 23 mi (37 km), and led him by 33 seconds after 24 mi (39 km). Biwott fell back to finish fifth, while Mutai maintained his lead to win the race in 2:08:24, finishing 52 seconds ahead of second-place Tsegaye Kebede.[6][12]
