In the women’s race, twenty six miles was not enough to separate Mary Keitany, running her first marathon since childbirth, and Jemima Sumgong. Keitany was too good the final quarter mile and got the win in 2:25:07 just three seconds faster than Sumgong which tied the record for smallest margin of victory on the women’s side at New York.
