Eliud Kipchoge (40) and Kenenisa Bekele (43) are the big names in NYC, but the most likely winners are defending champ Abdi Nageeye, 2024 London champ Alexander Mutiso, and Olympic bronze medalist Benson Kipruto. US debuts for Joe Klecker, Bor, and Hicks. SifanHassan will try for her 4th major victory against the last three NYC champs: Sharon Lokedi, Hellen Obiri, and Sheila Chepkirui.
