The 2022 New York City Marathon, the 51st running of that city's premier long-distance race, was held on November 6, 2022. The race followed its traditional route, which passes through all five boroughs of New York City. 47,839 people finished the event. It was the warmest New York City Marathon on record, with peak temperatures of 75 °F (24 °C).

After the 2021 event was limited to 33,000 competitors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, [1] the 2022 edition was expected to have up to 50,000 competitors. [2] All competitors were required to wear face coverings in the race start area. [3] The 2022 New York City Marathon was sponsored by Indian company Tata Consultancy Services. [4]
The prize money for the winners of the elite men and women's event was $100,000. The winners of the wheelchair races received $25,000 each, and there were prizes of $50,000 for breaking the course record. The total prize fund was $870,000. [5] For the first time, the event awarded prize money for non-binary athletes, with a top prize of $5,000 for the fastest non-binary finisher. The prize money for the non-binary category was awarded by New York Road Runners, whereas the World Marathon Majors awarded prize money for athletes in the male and female gender categories. [6]
The marathon distance is 42.195 kilometres (26.219 mi) long as sanctioned by World Athletics. [7] The New York City Marathon starts at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island. [8] The runners cross the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge into mostly-flat Brooklyn where for the next 12 miles (19.3 km) they pass through Bay Ridge, Sunset Park, Park Slope, Fort Greene, Bedford-Stuyvesant, and Williamsburg. [9] The course then enters Queens by crossing over the Pulaski Bridge; the mid-point of the race is on that bridge. [9]
After a short time in Queens, the race crosses the Queensboro Bridge at mile 14 (22.5 km), [10] and enters Manhattan [9] where competitors run north on First Avenue for 3 miles (4.8 km). [9] [11] The runners cross the Willis Avenue Bridge, where they enter The Bronx [12] for 2 miles (3.2 km) from mile 19 (30.6 km). [10] The course then re-enters Manhattan via the Madison Avenue Bridge [12] for the final 6.2 miles (10.0 km). [9] After running through Harlem, there is a slight uphill section along Fifth Avenue before it flattens out and runs parallel to Central Park. The course then enters the park around mile 24 (38.6 km), passes Columbus Circle at mile 25 (40.2 km) and re-enters the park for the finish. [9] [11]
The elite men's competition featured 2021 winner Albert Korir, although over 10 athletes at the event had a faster personal best time than Korir. [13] Other favorites included Evans Chebet, who won the 2022 Boston Marathon [14] and had the fastest personal best time of any competitor at this event, [13] Abdi Nageeye, who came second in the marathon event at the 2020 Summer Olympics [14] and was the Dutch record holder, [13] and Shura Kitata, who won the 2020 London Marathon. [14] South American record holder Daniel Ferreira do Nascimento also competed. [13] American athletes in the event included 36-year old Galen Rupp in his final marathon event, Jared Ward, Scott Fauble and Leonard Korir.

[3] The events took place in record warm temperatures, as the high in New York City set a daily record at 75 °F (24 °C). [19] The temperatures inhibited fast times in the elite races. [20]
The elite men's event was won by Kenyan Evans Chebet, in his first New York City Marathon. [21] He was the first man since 2013 to win the New York City and Boston Marathons in the same year, [20] and his victory also meant that Kenyan men had won all of the six World Marathon Majors in 2022. [20] Brazilian Daniel do Nascimento led for much of the race, and at the halfway point, he had a lead of over two minutes on the chasing group. [20] Chebet broke away from the chasing group as the race first entered into Manhattan. [21] After 18 miles (29 km), do Nascimento had to take an unscheduled toilet break, and he collapsed after 20 miles (32 km), [20] requiring medical attention. [21] In the aftermath of do Nascimento's collapse, the lead vehicle almost crashed into Evans Chebet as he was overtaking do Nascimento. [20] Chebet finished in a time of 2:08:41, which was a few seconds ahead of Shura Kitata, who finished second. [20] Dutchman Abdi Nageeye finished third overall, whilst 2021 winner Albert Korir was seventh. [20] Scott Fauble was the best finishing American athlete in ninth place overall; Galen Rupp had been ahead of Fauble, but dropped out after 30 kilometres (19 mi). [20]

[20] After 16 miles (26 km), Gotytom Gebreslase, Viola Cheptoo and Hellen Obiri broke away from the main field, but were caught by Lokedi and Lonah Chemtai Salpeter after 21 miles (34 km). [22] As the race entered Central Park, Lokedi, Salpeter and Gebreslase were leading the race, [22] and Lokedi took the lead in the final 1 mile (1.6 km) of the race, finishing seven seconds ahead of Salpeter. Gebreslase finished third overall. [20] Lokedi was an unexpected race winner, and after the race, it was revealed that due to her low profile, she had not been on the Athletics Integrity Unit's list of athletes who had to take drug tests before competing. [23] [24] Lokedi did take a drug test after her victory. [24] The highest placed American was seventh-placed Aliphine Tuliamuk, who was one place ahead of Emma Bates. [20]
The men's wheelchair competition was won by Marcel Hug of Switzerland in a course record time of 1:25:26, [20] nearly four minutes faster than Kurt Fearnley's previous record which had been set in 2006. [25] Hug took the lead on the exit of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, [26] and at the halfway point, he had a lead of 79 seconds over second-placed Daniel Romanchuk. [25] Hug finished over two minutes ahead of Romanchuk, who came second, [21] with Jetze Plat third. [20] It was Hug's fifth New York City Marathon victory, tying him for most wins with Fearnley and Tatyana McFadden. [26] Hug received $50,000 for breaking the course record, [21] and confirmed his World Marathon Majors title with the win. [25] Hug had won five of the six World Marathon Majors in 2022, three of them in course record times. [26]
The women's wheelchair event was won by American Susannah Scaroni in a course record time of 1:42:43; [20] her time was 21 seconds better than the previous record, which had been set by Tatyana McFadden in 2015. [25] It was Scaroni's first New York City Marathon victory. [25] Scaroni took the lead within the first 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) of the race, and had a lead of 2 minutes 44 seconds at halfway. [25] Manuela Schär finished two and a half minutes behind in second and Madison de Rozario was third overall. [21]
The mass participation event began in five waves between 09:10 and 11:30 EST. [3] In total, there were 47,839 finishers, of whom 26,608 were male, 21,186 were female and 45 were non-binary. [27] New York City resident Jacob Caswell was the fastest non-binary finisher.
