Sometimes a story grabs your heart and wrings it out into a puddle of blood. Such is the story of Gianclaudio P. Marengo, the 30-year-old Italian who wandered the streets of New York City for two days after the marathon in his running gear.
Mary Keitany of Kenya crosses the finish line to win her second New York City Marathon. She finished the marathon in two hours and 24 minutes. Aselefech Mergia of Ethiopia finished second and Tigist Tufa, also of Ethiopia, finished third.
This is both very sad and kinda lovely: Joy Johnson, 86, finished Sunday’s New York City Marathon for the 25th time, making her the oldest finisher in the race. The very next day, she laid down to rest in her hotel room, and passed away.
