The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon celebrated its 50th edition on November 1, with Sweden's Andreas Almgren winning the men's professional division. The race, which traverses all five boroughs of New York City, has grown from a local event into a global phenomenon over five decades.
Almgren crossed the finish line first in the men's pro field, highlighting the continued international draw of the marathon. The anniversary edition underscored the event's evolution from a small Central Park race in 1976 to one of the world's major marathons.
