NYC MARATHON -Nov 03.13

Media from all over the world come together to cover the ING New York City Marathon and the thrilling spectacle of more than 45,000 participants running through the streets of New York City. Their stories capture the thrill of competition, the unrelenting determination of the human spirit, and the selfless support of hundreds of charities.
NEW YORK – Just before mile 24, Ethiopian Buzunesh Deba looked over her shoulder as her lead began to vanish. Once Kenya's Priscah Jeptoo, with her knock-kneed stride belying the ease of her pace, pulled ahead, there was no need to look back.
In her New York City Marathon debut, Jeptoo won the women's race on Sunday with a time of 2 hours, 25 minutes, 7 seconds, almost a minute ahead of Deba. As she crossed the finish line, Jeptoo threw her arms in the air, then leaned over for an extended breath. With the victory, she received a $500,000 bonus for also capturing the World Marathon Majors women's title.
