NEW YORK (WABC) -- Benson Kipruto of Kenya won the men's race by edging Alexander Mutiso by less than a second in the 54th running of the TCS New York City Marathon.
Kipruto and Mutiso separated themselves from the chase pack in the men's race heading into Mile 24. Kipruto pulled away from Mutiso late in the race, but Mutiso sprinted in the last 50 meters to close the gap before just falling short.
Kipruto finished in 2:08.09. Mutiso finished a fraction of a second behind, the closest race ever on the men's side.

Hellen Obiri, also of Kenya, set a women's course record to win the professional women's race.
Obiri, who also won the race in 2023, finished in 2 hours, 19 minutes and 51 seconds.
Obiri was running with 2022 winner Sharon Lokedi until she pulled away from her countrymate in the final mile, surging ahead and winning easily, besting the previous course record of 2:22.31 set by Margaret Okayo in 2003.
Defending champion Sheila Chepkirui finished third. All three beat the previous course best.
In the professional wheelchair races, Marcel Hug won the men's race while Susannah Scaroni took the women's race.

Elite men begin their race
The professional men started their marathon just after 9:00 a.m.
Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya, who has 11 major marathon wins, is among the favorites.
Kipchoge sees New York as a victory lap after his illustrious career, in which he's set two world records. His last major marathon victory came in Berlin in 2023.
"I'm really saying thank you because this is the only way that I can do that," he said.
He has spent the last few days in New York and has been running around iconic Central Park, where the race finishes.
"Going down the streets everyone is happy, it's a beautiful (running) culture," he said. "I realized that over a million people run in Central Park every year."
Kipchoge will be part of a strong men's field that includes defending champion Abdi Nageeye of the Netherlands. He's looking to be the first repeat winner since Geoffrey Mutai in 2011 and 2013. The 2012 race was cancelled because of Superstorm Sandy.
It's been 16 years since an American man won.
