2022 TCS New York City Marathon: Race results, photos & more

On Monday, the winners of the New York City Marathon celebrated their historic victories with a visit to the Empire State Building.

The champions of the men's and women's Open Division, as well as the winners of the Wheelchair Division, were there.

It marked the first time the race returned to full capacity since 2019.

CBS2's Lisa Rozner has more on a first-time marathon runner who was able to elevate the voices of Holocaust survivors through his journey.

Rami Matan Even-Esh, also known as rapper Kosha Dillz, gave his in the marathon and said he got that positive energy right back from strangers.

Marathon day alone, the Brooklyn resident said he raised more than $1,000 for The Blue Card, which provides financial assistance to Holocaust survivors.

"We have these heroes, our direct descendants of the last like worst human atrocity in mankind, so with that being said, I think we should treat them as such," Even-Esh said.

He spent time over the summer with some of the 3,000 survivors The Blue Card serves, and the organization says many struggle to afford basic needs.

"We hold them in such high regard, yet we kind of forget about them in daily life," Even-Esh said.

And the marathon happened one year after a famous run-in with a rapper outside of a Knicks game.

Fat Joe took over the mic and following that, Kosha Dillz became a part of the MTV show "Wild 'n Out."

"To be a person with a yarmulke on Wild 'n Out is really cool," Even-Esh said. "We have this special position where we get to kind of bring people together and bring our culture, our little twist into it."

He freestyles on the street, with or without a beat.

"Right now, I deliver it proper, runnin' the marathon right in front of Ms. Rozner," he said.

And Even-Esh said while the race may be over, his quest to spread love and raise money for Holocaust survivors is still going.

Even-Esh is one of 35 people who ran for The Blue Card. The organization helps Holocaust survivors with food, health care, and transportation.

From a fire to the finish line -- we have an incredible story of resilience at this year's marathon.

Jillian Mitchell and her fiancé, Parker, escaped the massive fire that engulfed their Midtown high-rise Saturday afternoon.

Both were treated for smoke inhalation, but that wasn't enough to stop her from following through with her commitment to run the marathon, especially because she was running for Sandy Hook Promise, honoring the lives lost in the 2012 school shooting.

"They reference a lot the 26 angels, the 26 people who were killed, and someone said, 'Those 26 angels must have been carrying you because, like, after an apartment fire that you narrowly escaped, to be this energetic in a race doesn't make any sense,'" Mitchell said. "People definitely thought I was crazy for running. Even the EMS workers that were helping me, they were like, 'Wait, you're gonna try to run the marathon?' I was like, 'Well, if my oxygen levels are high enough, like, why not?'"

"How did it feel to cross that finish line?" CBS2's Jessica Moore asked.

"It felt amazing to cross the finish line," Mitchell said.

Mitchell and her fiancé say they both thought they were going to die Saturday, which made finishing the marathon even more life-affirming.

The iconic New York City Marathon took place Sunday, with some runners still going. It was back to full capacity for the first time since the pandemic.

Around 50,000 people from all over the world completed the marathon with unseasonably warm temperatures, but at the end they said the spirit was unmatched.

"Oh my god, it was so-- in Brooklyn, man, so much energy. We loved it," runner Jean Aubour said.

"My first marathon, and amazing, incredible," runner Wayne Gao said.

The 26.2-mile course was filled with cheers, applause and creative signs.

One child carried a sign reading, "Mama, you got this, we love you."

"'Harry up,' because his name's Harry, and then we had Annabel, 'Run Annabel run,'" Manhattan resident Katie Buckland said.

"Made the whole difference, means the world," runner Annabel said.

Sharon Lokedi, of Kenya, won the women's race and is the eighth person in New York City history to win her marathon debut.

Evans Chebet, of Kenya, is the first man to win the New York City Marathon and the Boston Marathon in the same year since 2011.

Daniel Do Nascimento, who had been leading the entire men's race, collapsed 21 miles in.

Chebet spoke through a translator.

"He said it was hard for him to race, especially because it was hot," the translator said.

In the professional wheelchair division, Marcel Hug, of Switzerland, won his fifth career marathon, and Susannah Scaroni snatched her first title.

The 51st edition of the New York City Marathon had temperatures around the mid-70s. Runners of all experience levels cited the heat as a challenge.

"The bridges are no joke," runner Jennifer Bailes said with a laugh. "But I got under four hours, so that was my goal."

"I saw a lot of people out there struggling in the heat," runner Nicole Schenk said. "It kept getting cooler when we were finishing so I think that really helped a lot."

"I did a little Mario jump when I got to mile 1," runner Cesar Baez said.

"I decided early this year I was going to go to Burning Man and walk, jog the marathon," said 88-year-old marathon participant Alan Patricof.

Celebrity Ashton Kutcher said he was exhausted, but it was worth it to raise money for the organization Thorn, dedicated to ending child sex trafficking.

"There was several times when I was running that I thought to myself, 'You know what, there's some kid out there that's being abused right now, and if we can bring more attention to that, I think that we can make a difference,'" Kutcher said.

Several other celebrities ran the marathon, all raising money for good causes.

Evans Chebet of Kenya won the New York City Marathon men's race and Sharon Lokedi of Kenya won the women's race Sunday, both of them making a splash in their debuts.

Daniel Do Nascimento, who had been leading the entire men's race, collapsed 21 miles in. Chebet finished in 2 hours, 8 minutes and 41 seconds, which was 13 seconds ahead of second-place finisher Shura Kitata of Ethiopia.

Do Nascimento got out to a fast start on a unseasonably warm day and led by nearly 2 minutes for most of the race. The Brazilian collapsed at Mile 21, right before he got back into Manhattan, and was attended to by medical professionals. A few miles earlier, he had taken a quick 20-second bathroom break.

Chebet, 33, pulled away from the pack chasing Do Nascimento as they headed over the bridge into Manhattan for the first time. After Do Nascimento's collapse, Chebet took the lead and never was threatened the rest of the way. Chebet won the Boston Marathon earlier this year.

It was Lokedi's first-ever marathon and she finished in 2 hours, 23 minutes and 23 seconds — just ahead of Lonah Chemtai Salpeter of Israel. The 28-year-old Lokedi was in a tight race before she pulled ahead of Chemtai Salpeter in the final two miles to win by seven seconds and finish about 50 seconds off the course record.

An hour earlier, the men's and women's wheelchair races ended with course records being broken.

It was an unseasonably warm day — with the temperature expected to soar into the 70s and possibly challenge the record for the hottest race since the marathon moved to November in 1986.

Marcel Hug of Switzerland won the New York City Marathon men's wheelchair race for the fifth time, shattering the course record Sunday and tying Kurt Fearnley for most-ever victories in the men's wheelchair race.

Hug finished the 26.2-mile course in 1 hour, 25 minutes and 26 seconds to break the previous mark of 1:29.22 set by Fearnley of Australia in 2006. Hug, who also won the race last year, earned $50,000 for besting the course record. He crossed the finish line more than 2 minutes ahead of second-place finisher Daniel Romanchuk of Illinois.

Susannah Scaroni also broke the course record in the women's wheelchair race, finishing in 1:42.43. That was 21 seconds better than the old mark, which was held by Tatyana McFadden.

Scaroni, a 31-year-old from Illinois, pulled away from the field early and also earned the bonus money for topping the course record. She beat runner-up Manuela Schar of Switzerland by 2 1/2 minutes, and last year's winner, Madison de Rozario of Australia, finished third.

Scaroni won the Chicago Marathon last month and was victorious for the first time in New York after finishing third in 2019.

The 36-year-old Hug, nicknamed the "The Silver Bullet," has been on quite a streak, winning four gold medals at the Tokyo Paralympics last year as well as the Tokyo, Berlin, London and Chicago Marathons in 2022.

Hug won on an unseasonably warm day — with the temperature expected to soar into the 70s and possibly challenge the record for the hottest race since the marathon moved to November in 1986. While that might not be good for the 50,000 runners, Hug said Thursday that warm conditions are ideal for wheelchair racers.

It was calm before the storm Saturday at the marathon finish line located in Central Park, but Sunday, the scene will be filled to the brim with athletes and fans.

Race officials say they've been working hard with the city to prepare for this exciting moment.

"The expectations are simply this:  to execute a safe and operationally sound event, and, most importantly, welcoming back for our full field of runners. Our elite athlete field is stacked, both domestically and internationally, well over 100 athletes on both the men's and women's field, and also with our wheelchair athletes, as well," one official said.

Temperatures on Sunday could climb into the mid-70s, and while some may enjoy the unseasonably warm weather, it's not ideal for those who will be running the New York City Marathon.

New York Road Runners says water, Gatorade, Science in Sport energy gels and bananas will be available for runners along the course.

Nine misting stations are also being added along the course in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan and the Bronx.

The NYRR medical director advices runners to wear light fabrics and a hat with a brim, and to run in the shade when possible.

Medical tents will be located every mile, starting at mile 3.

New York City is gearing up to welcome 50,000 runners for the TCS Marathon this Sunday. 

The ceremonial painting of the lines at the end of the 26.2 mile route took place Wednesday at Central Park. 

The route runs through all five boroughs, welcoming runners from all over the world. 

Sunday will mark the return of the marathon at its full capacity after being downsized last year and cancelled in 2020. 

Officials say police will be stationed throughout the route, along with comprehensive screenings and explosive detection teams.

"As usual, however, the NYPD's uniformed presence will be evident wherever one looks this weekend. Our efforts will again include what the public will see and what you will not see," NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell told reporters Wednesday.

The marathon starts at 8 a.m. Sunday.

While everyone running in the New York City Marathon has grit and bravery, one runner's story about resilience caught our eye. CBS2's John Dias has more on his inspiring story.
