The 2025 New York City Marathon is set to go off at 8:00am ET on Sunday, November 2, 2025.
Olympic champions Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya and Dutchwoman Sifan Hassan are set to make their New York City Marathon debuts.
Also in a stacked field, Hassan’s Paris 2024 rivals, Hellen Obiri, the Kenyan bronze medallist, and compatriot Sharon Lokedi, who was fourth, will also be hungry to win the women’s race.
On the men’s side, Kipchoge will face Dutch defending champion Abdi Nageeye, and compatriots Evans Chebet and Albert Korir – both former New York City Marathon champions. Even more interest has been sparked by the late addition of Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia.
Elsewhere, Americans Charles Hicks, Joe Klecker, Hillary Bor, and Amanda Vestri will all make their marathon debuts at the 2025 New York City Marathon, which will be the final World Marathon Major of 2025.
The new world marathon champion from Tokyo, Alphonce Simbu, will also be in New York, while Abbabiya Simbassa, an Ethiopian-born athlete making his third marathon appearance, is one of the best U.S. athletes in the field.
