New York City Marathon: Benson Kipruto (in a photo finish), Hellen Obiri win in Kenya sweeps
Benson Kipruto (in the closest men’s elite finish in race history) and Hellen Obiri led Kenyan podium sweeps of the New York City Marathon. Kipruto held off charging countryman Alexander Mutiso by an unofficial three hundredths of a second after 26.2 miles on the roads.
Some past New York marathons have been extremely tight. Benson Kipruto’s split-second victory was a photo finish.
