In the wheelchair races, America's Saúl Mendoza (1:39:25) and Italy's Francesca Porcellato (2:11:57) won the men's and women's divisions, respectively. In the handcycle race, Israel's Ziv Bar-Shira (1:27:49) and America's Helene Hines (1:46:22) were the winners.

A total of 23,648 runners finished the race, 16,810 men and 6838 women. [2]

The race was held in the wake of the September 11 attacks, thus the course was altered and mass participation was significantly down on previous years. Around 2800 police officers were present to ensure security, a no-fly zone was instituted above the race route, and runners were discouraged from accepting water from spectators on the route. The race adopted the slogan "United We Run" and the city's mayor, Rudy Giuliani, was given the number 1 bib, which is typically reserved for the men's defending champion. [3]
