Overview
The weather for the 2022 marathon will be warm and humid for the runners, but perfect for the spectators. Temperatures are expected to be in the low 70s at the start of the race, rising only a few degrees into the finish. The day is marked by heavy clouds, so the temperature will be mitigated and the sun will not be a factor. A seven mile-per-hour wind from the south will give the runners a tailwind for about 75% of the run and a bit of a headwind after the runners pass 21 miles into the course
Men's Race back to top
The Finish (2:08:41): Evans Chebet holds on to win the 2022 New York City Marathon - becoming one of the few to have ever won the Boston and New York City Marathons in the same year. Shura Kitata finishes in second place, 13 seconds behind in 2:08:54. Abdi Nageeye has slowed substantially, but still finishes in third place in 2:10:31. Scott Fauble finished as first American in 2:13:35.
40K (2:01:44) Evans Chebet should win - he is 20 seconds ahead of Shura Kitata, maintaining his lead. Kitata will easily take second place as Abdii Nageeye is slowing. Nageeye has a 51 second cushion to hold onto third place.
Mile 21 (1:41:581:41:58), 35K (1:45:46). Daniel do Naciemento walked and fell to the ground. The incredible pace was too much for him and he is done. Evans Chebet is now running alone at the front, with a 17 second lead ahead of Shura Kitata who, himself, is 16 seconds ahead of Abdi Nageeye. It is likely these will be the top three.
Mile 19 (1:31:02), Mile 20 (1:36:22): Daniel do Naciemento has stopped to walk twice in the last miles - his slowest yest. Behind, Evans Chebet is gaining. Word has come back that Galen Rupp has dropped out of the race.
30K (1:29:09): at approximately 18 miles, do Nascimento could be seen looking behind and soon thereafter ran off the course... out of the race, no!... into a porta-potty, yes! In and out in 18 seconds, do Nascimento resumed his pace at the lead. Evans Chebet running alone (and presumably without GI issues) has narrowed the lead to 1:07. do Nascimento's 5K time was 16 seconds slower than his previous 5K time (despite the 18 second bathroom break). Meanwhile, Chebet''s 5K split was his fastest by far, he is flying...
Mile 14 (1:05:36), 25K (1:13:29): do Nascimento's lead is now 2:12 ahead of the second runner. Behind, the pack is breaking up. Evans Chebet is moving forward alone. Abdi Nageeye is moving alone into thrid place, four seconds behind Chebet and then six seconds ahead of any other men.
Half-Way (1:01:22): do Nascimento's time at the halfway point is nearly two minutes faster than the 1:03:18 halfway mark run by Geoffrey Mutai when he set the record in 2011. Behind, seven men are 2:12 behind (1:03:35).
20K (58:04). do Nascimento has run 14:48 for his fourth 5K of the race, 14 seconds slower than his last 5K, bu still incredible... The following pack of six men is now 2:05 back, having run a 15:13 last 5K.
Mile 12 (55:58): a 4::43 mile for do Nascimento. If he is slowing, he isn't slowing by much....
Mile 11 (51:15): This is the slowest mile (4:58) for do Nascimento since the first mile - is he slowing? The chase pack is down to six men, including Galen Rupp.
Mile 9 (0:41:44), 15K (0:43:16): do Nascimento is now 1:40 ahead of the following pack. That time means he is nearly a half mile ahead of the other runners just over 1/3 of the way through the course. In New York City, that translates to 8 city blocks - he is far out of sight of the other runners. If only the pace car wasn't following do Nascimento, the other runners would not know there was any runner ahead of them - and perhaps they don't know?
Mile 7 (0:32:19): do Nascimento continues to widen his lead. Behind, the chase pack is breaking up as Evans Chebet ups the pace. We can only guess that he sees the pace car far in the distance and so muct know that the Brazilian runner continues in the lead, but really out of sight.
Mile 6 (28:02), 10K (28:42): Daniel do Nascimento continues to click off 4:30-something miles... As of 10K, he is nearly 1-1/2 minutes ahead of the main pack which consists of thirteen men.
Mile 5 (23:09). Still the same story... do Nascimento running at a crazy pace. The rest of the field, properly, running what is, effectively, a separate race.
Mile 4 (18:32): do Nascimento is nearly on pace for a world record run. On a hot day. On what will be a hilly course. The question isn't whether do Nascimento can keep this up, the question is going to be when he will drop out. Behind in the following pace are all of the other favorites: Albert Korir (KEN), Tetsuya Yoroizaka (JPN), Tadesse Abraham (SUI), Shadrack Kipchirchir (USA), Girma Bekele Gebre (ETH), Abdi Nageeye (NED), Galen Rupp (USA), Daniele Meucci (ITA), Olivier Irabaruta (BDI), Evans Chebet (KEN), Mohamed El Aaraby (MAR), Leonard Korir (USA), Shura Kitata (ETH), and Suguru Osako (JPN).
5K (14:31): do Nascimento is a ful 29 seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Behind, a pack 14 men are running together.
Mile 3 (14:01): do 2022 has thrown down a 4:31 split for his third mile. His average pace would put him through at a 2:02:30...
Mile 2 (9:30): Daniel do Nascimento has completely run away from the field, notching a 4:20 mile for the second mile. That is, simply, crazy - it can't last and the rest of the field is letting him do his thing.
Mile 1 (5:10): Daniel do Nascimento has taken the lead and is running ahead of hte pack. As do Nascimento crosses the bridge, Evans Chebet has caught him and they both seem to be slowing as the remaining pack catches them.
The men's race has started! The pack starts over the Verrazano Narrows Bridge - technically the largest hill on the course, but not tough as it is the start of the race.
The men's race will begin at 9:05AM. We'll have more when the race begins.
Women's Race back to top
The Finish (2:23:23): Sharon Lokedi - in her debut marathon! has won the 2022 New York City Marathon in 2:23:23. She made it look easy... Lonah Chemtai Salpeter takes the second spot in 2:23:30. Gotytom Gebreslase is third in 2:23:39. Most amazing and a runner who was never on pace for the lead, Edna Kiplagat finishes in fourth place in 2:24:16 - at 42 years old, she just keeps performing! Alphine Tuliamuk, setting a new personal best, finishes as first American in 2:26:18.
Mile 24... Sharon Lokedi is running away with the race. She should win. Lonah Chemtai Salpeter, running for Israel, seems destined to finish as runner-up (the first podium finish for an Israeli athlete at New York). Goytom Gebreselase, although slowing, will easily take the third podium spot.
Mile 22 (2:00:35), Miile 23 (2:06:00), 40K (2:16:07: The women's race is down to three women. Lonah Salpeter is leading, but looks to be struggling a bit. Just behind is Sharon Lokedi who looks relaxed. Goytom Gebreslase appears to be falling back from the pace.
35K (1:59:12): Lonah Chemtai Salpeter and Sharon Lokedi have rejoined the lead pack while Viola Cheptoo has fallen back. The lead pack is now four with Cheptoon seven seconds behind adn slowing. Alaphine Tuliamuk stands as first American running alone and comfortably in 7th place with just over four miles remaining.
Mile 16 (1:28:10, mile 17 (1:33:27), Mile 18 (1:39:05), 30K (1:42:27: The race is down to three women: Hellen Obiri, Gotytom Gebreslase, Viola Cheptoo. Another five woman are running together, now ten seconds behind, presumably satisfied to finish in the top ten if not on the podium.
Mile 14 (1:17:09), Mile 15 (1:22:43), 25K (1:25:46): The pack is down to 8 women: Lonah Chemtai Salpeter (ISR), Hellen Obiri (KEN), Sharon Lokedi (KEN), Gotytom Gebreslase (ETH), Senbere Teferi (ETH), Viola Cheptoo (KEN), Edna Kiplagat (KEN), Aliphine Tuliamuk (USA). They are crossing the 59th St. bridge - traditionally a point after which the race may speed up.
Mile 12 (1:06:08), Mile 13 (1:11:37), Half Marathon (1:12:17): Eleven women remain in the leaad pack. Hellen Obiri nominally is setting the pace. Americans Lindsay Flanagan, Aliphine Tuliamuk and Stephanie Bruce remain in the pack. The pre-race favorite American, Keira D'Amato has fallen back and is 13 seconds behind.
15K (51:23), Mile 10 (54:51), Mile 11 (1:0037): Still thirteen women running in the lead pack. The pace has slowed a tiny bit, but all of the favorites remain in the hunt.
Mile 8 (44:17): The women are continuing along on a steady pace toward a mid- to low- 2:20s finish.

Mile 6 (33:17), 10K (34:24): The women's field remains large, but Desi Linden is again starting to move away from the rest of the women. It is still early in this race.
Mile 4 (22:20), Mile 5 (27:45): The women's pack remains large. Annie Frisbie nominally leads the pack as they are running on pace for a 2:25ish finsh (they will speed up).
Mile 3 (16:49), 5K (17:15): 22 women remain in the lead pack.
Mile 2 (11:09): Lindsay Flanagan has taken the lead, but generally the runners are together.
