New York: Tola CR, Obiri Double +Bowerman Departures, Kiptum did what?!
01:47:00 Share

A course record fell at the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon but it wasn't the one everyone expected as Tamirat Tola became the first man under 2:05 in NY running 2:04:58. Hellen Obiri showed she's a marathon star as she outkicked Letesenbet Gidey to complete the Boston-NY double. We break it all down.

There were more departures from the Bowerman Track Club, we assess its situation, and Kelvin Kiptum is going to run the Rotterdam Marathon. Did he turn down a mega payday from London?
