Hellen Obiri was in a class of her own as she obliterated a strong field to reclaim her New York City Marathon title.
Two-time Boston Marathon champion Hellen Obiri reigned supreme in the women's race of the 54th edition of the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 2.
The race drew thousands of athletes to the challenging course with elite stars such as Eliud Kipchoge, Sifan Hassan, Hellen Obiri, and Sharon Lokedi headlining the professional men's and women's events.
Eliud Kipchoge went into the event with the main focus on competing in the only World Marathon Major he had yet to line up for, a move that he believes will make him a true marathoner.
On her part, Sifan Hassan was making her debut in the streets of New York City after finishing third in London and winning the Sydney Marathon.
