2013 New York City Marathon
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 win in a row 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] 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.[6] She became the first person to win four major marathons in a single calendar year.[7] Switzerland's Marcel Hug won the men's wheelchair division in 1:40:14.[8]
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.[9]
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]
