Daniel Romanchuk (born August 3, 1998) is an American Paralympic athlete who competes primarily in wheelchair racing events. He won the Chicago Marathon on October 7, 2018. Less than a month later, he made history as the first American to win the men's wheelchair race at the New York City Marathon, becoming the youngest winner in the event's history.[1] He subsequently won the New York City Marathon race again in 2019 and 2024.
Romanchuk followed up these wins with a win at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2019. He became the first American man to win Boston's wheelchair division since 1993.[2] With his victory at the London Marathon in April 2019, Romanchuk also won the World Para Athletics Marathon Championships title.
