Jepkosgei upset four-time champion Mary Keitany to win the New York City Marathon on Sunday with a historic debut seven seconds off the course record. The 25-year-old Jepkosgei holds the world record in the half-marathon but had never run a 26.2-mile race before. "Sometimes a race is a race," Keitany said. Kamworor, also the world record holder in the half-marathon, is the 10th multi-time winner in New York. Organizers were expecting around 52,000 runners to complete the marathon a year after a world record 52,813 crossed the finish.
