History was rewritten at the 2024 TCS New York City Marathon on Sunday (3 November) as Daniel Romanchuk and Susannah Scaroni led an USA sweep of the wheelchair division, a marathon first.
Romanchuk and Scaroni returned to the top of the podium to become the first pair of U.S. athletes to win the NYC Marathon wheelchair division. Romanchuk, the champion from 2018 and 2019, broke the tape first in 1:36:31, followed by Great Britain’s David Weir in 1:36:36 and Japan’s Tomoki Suzuki in 1:36:44.
“[It] certainly [was a] very, very tight race all the way…It came down to just [giving] it everything I had and [hoping] that [was] enough,” Romanchuk said.
In the women’s wheelchair race, Scaroni won her second New York City Marathon title in 1:48:05. She won by more than 10 minutes, one of the largest margins of victory in event history.

“I had a wonderful day. I felt great. It's always a blessing. This course will challenge you every step of the way, and so I just tried to meet each of those challenges and hope that the gap that I had could extend or at least maintain, and [I’m] really thankful,” Scaroni said.
Her compatriot Tatyana McFadden, a five-time TCS New York City Marathon champion, was second in 1:58:47, followed by Manuela Schaer of Switzerland in 1:59:20.
