Stanley Biwott, 29, of Kenya, took his first major marathon victory on Sunday as a conservative race opened up in the final miles with a searing pace, giving Biwott a victory in the New York City Marathon.
His winning time was 2 hours 10 minutes 34 seconds — 14 seconds ahead of his fellow Kenyan Geoffrey Kamworor, the world cross-country champion. Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia, the champion of the Boston Marathon in 2013 and 2015 and the runner-up last year in New York, took third in 2:12:10.
Wilson Kipsang of Kenya, the defending New York champion and a former world-record holder, took fourth in 2:12:45. Meb Keflezighi, 40, of the United States, the 2009 New York champion and 2004 Olympic silver medalist, finished seventh but set an American masters record by 20 seconds in 2:13:32.

On a warm, overcast day with temperatures in the mid-50s and a light breeze, Keitany, 33, won handily over Aselefech Mergia, 30, of Ethiopia, breaking from the pack with five miles to go and running the last four miles through Central Park alone. Keitany’s time of 2 hours 24 minutes 25 seconds gave her a cushion of more than a minute, a significantly greater margin than her three-second victory last year, one of the narrowest in the race’s history.
