The 2013 New York City Marathon was the 43rd running of the annual marathon race in New York City, United States, which took place on Sunday, November 3.[1] It followed a one-year hiatus after the 2012 event was canceled due to Hurricane Sandy.[2] Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya won the men's division with a time of 2:08:24, his second consecutive win in New York.[3] Priscah Jeptoo, also from Kenya, won the women's division with a time of 2:25:07.[4] The two winners each received $100,000 in prize money,[5] with Jeptoo capturing the World Marathon Majors title for $500,000.[6]

In the women's wheelchair division, Tatyana McFadden of the United States completed a historic sweep of the Boston, London, Chicago, and New York marathons in the same year, winning in 1:59:13.[7] She became the first person to win four major marathons in a single calendar year.[8] Switzerland's Marcel Hug won the men's wheelchair division in 1:40:14.[9]

Jimmy Jenson became the first person with Down syndrome to run the entire New York City Marathon, and Joy Johnson became the oldest woman to do so at age 86.[10][11]

A record of 50,740 runners participated, of which 50,062 finished the marathon (30,536 men and 19,526 women).[12] This was the largest number of participants of any marathon in history.
