NEW YORK – Marathoning’s Super Bowl returns on Sunday morning with more than 50,000 runners taking the streets for the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon. Last year’s race was historic with Shalane Flanagan becoming the first American woman to win in 40 years. The men’s race saw 25-year-old Geoffrey Kamworor capture his first world marathon major title. On Sunday, both stars return to defend their titles against strong fields.

This year’s race provides more intrigue with stacked men’s and women’s elite fields. The men’s race features six men that have run under 2:07, while the women’s race has six women that have run under 2:24. 

Check out Sports Illustrated's full preview here.

37:05 for the women through the first 10K. Des Linden was up in front before a water station. Still a big pack of runners. #NYCMarathon

About 14 miles into the race, Des Linden is falling off the lead pack…or she could be running her own pace and it’s strategic. #NYCMarathon

— Chris Chavez (@ChrisChavez) November 4, 2018

And here is the East African move…Rahma Tusa, Netsanet Gudeta and Mary Keitany are pulling away after a 5:13 mile. They’re about to cross the Queensboro Bridge. #NYCMarathon
