NYRR Announces Professional Field for 2026 TCS New York City Marathon
- Olympic champion Sifan Hassan returns to the TCS New York City Marathon on November 1, facing defending champion Hellen Obiri after learning from her punishing debut last year.
- Hassan finished sixth in 2:24:43 during her debut, just two months after winning the Sydney Marathon. The short turnaround, she said, 'humbled' her on the demanding course.
- During a Tuesday media call, Hassan discussed her Achilles injury recovery while assessing the course. 'The positive part was really the crowd was very loud,' she said.
- Obiri won last year's race in 2:19:51 and returns as defending champion. 'Of course, I'm coming here to defend my title and to run a good race,' she said.
- Hassan is prioritizing recovery for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics beyond this race. Meanwhile, Kipruto returns to the men's field after winning last year's photo finish.
