Another great race at the #TCSNYCMarathon for Susannah Scaroni who won the women's professional wheelchair division for the third time in 1:42:10. She won $50,000 in prize money.

"It feels incredible," said Scaroni, who pushed to her fastest time in the New York course."

I can't belive I am writing this, but Tessa Barrett's 2:34:11 course record from the @Marine_Marathon last Sunday won't count as a 2028 #USOT qualifier because the race did not have a @usatf sanction.

In a multi-year deal, New Balance will continue as the official footwear & apparel sponsor of NYRR and the #TCSNYCMarathon.

"NYRR impacts nearly half a million people each year & that's possible because of the support of strong, mission-aligned partners like NB,” said NYRR CEO Rob Simmelkjaer.

I just voted in the NYC election (early voting).

@thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social - How much does rent control/rent stabilization play in the NYC mayoral election? About 2.4 million New Yorkers benefit from the existing program. Wouldn't everyone with rent control/stabilization vote for Mamdani? Wouldn't that make him impossible to beat?

If you replace the word “influencer” with “grifter” a lot of what you see on Instagram makes more sense.

ICYMI - Here are the elite women and men scheduled to run the #AbbottDash5K on Saturday, November 1. The race, which starts in front of the #UnitedNations, uses the #TCSNYCMarathon finish line in #CentralPark. It's an international race this year, not the USATF championships.
