Context

What made 2022 notable

Full scale New York was back. After the reduced 2021 field, NYRR restored a 50,000 runner start for the 51st running on November 6, 2022, the first capacity field since 2019, and 47,839 crossed the line. The drawing drew more than 84,000 applications for the non-guaranteed pool at an estimated 12 percent acceptance. The story on the course was the heat: it was the warmest New York City Marathon on record, sunny and humid with a peak near 24 degrees, which blunted the elite times. Evans Chebet of Kenya completed a rare Boston and New York double in 2:08:41. The headline came from Sharon Lokedi, who won the women's race in 2:23:23 on her marathon debut, only the eighth debut champion in event history.
