American runners have not been able to take advantage of the home crowd for the past many years. Meb Keflezigh remains the last American man to win the New York City Marathon in 2009. In the women's division Shalane Flanagan's 2017 triumph at the Big Apple remains the last of an American.
Defending champions in both men's and women's division are back at the Big Apple to retain their titles. Ethiopia's Tamirat Tola, the men's professional winner, and Kenya's Hellen Obiri, the women's defending champion will again try to repeat their feat of last year.
