History was made as Abdi Nageeye and Sheila Chepkirui clinch their first major marathon titles at the 2024 NYC Marathon! But did they also win the best running outfits?

On a bright and breezy Sunday, the 2024 New York City Marathon unfolded against the bustling backdrop of Manhattan, attracting thousands of runners and fervent supporters. The spotlight shined brightly on Abdi Nageeye from the Netherlands and Sheila Chepkirui from Kenya, who swept away the competition to claim their first major marathon titles. Nageeye put in a phenomenal performance in the men’s race, clocking a fantastic time of 2:07:39, and Chepkirui raced ahead with unmatched zeal to reconfirm her position as a powerhouse in women’s long-distance running. Both athletes showcased their sheer determination, pulling away from seasoned names in the dying meters of the race, much to the delight of the crowd.

As the marathoners navigated the iconic streets of New York, it was Nageeye’s forceful push over the final 600 meters that saw him sail over the finish line, effortlessly breaking away from Evans Chebet, the previous champion from Kenya. Meanwhile, Chepkirui pulled ahead of defending champion Hellen Obiri in a display of relentless ambition that had spectators on their toes! It was a race not just measured in miles, but in moments of sheer adrenaline and brilliance. Fans cheered wildly as Nageeye and Chepkirui made their mark on the 2024 NYC Marathon.

Did you know the marathon winners received a staggering $35,000 each for their first-place efforts? Talk about motivation to run like the wind! In addition, the wheelchair division competitors also had a chance to pocket a hefty $50,000 bonus should they break the course record. It’s not just about crossing the finish line first but doing so with a record that reverberates for years.

Looking beyond the competition, the 2024 NYC Marathon was also a showcase of style with athletes mixing form and function in their running gear. Observers couldn’t help but notice some fascinating fashion choices as runners completed the course with flair—who knew running marathons could be so chic? With the grand finale of the marathon behind us, one can't help but ponder, what will the 2025 NYC Marathon bring? Winning outfits or breathtaking finishes, this event never fails to deliver excitement!
