The TCS NYC Marathon took place Sunday in the five boroughs of New York City. The runners and wheelchair racers had to deal with strong winds all over the course.

The wheelchair racers started first. For safety reasons, those races were 23.2 miles this year. The winds were gusting 35-45 miles per hour, so they started on the other side of the Verrazano Narrows bridge in Brooklyn. Winning the men's race was Australia's Kurt Fearnley over South Africa's Ernst Van Dyk. USA's Tatyana McFadden was the women's winner. Switzerland's Manela Schar finished second.

Kenya's Mary Keitany won the NYC Marathon in 2:25:07 over fellow Kenyan Jemima Sumgong. Desiree Linden was the top American in fifth place running 2:28:11. Annie Bersagel was 10th, Deena Kastor 11th and Kara Goucher finished 14th.

Wilson Kipsana of Kenya won the men's race in 2:10:55. Ethiopia's Lelisa Desisa was second. Meb Keflezighi was the highest placing American male in fourth with a time of 2:13;18. Ryan Vail finished just ahead of Nick Arciniaga in ninth place to Arciniaga's tenth place.
