NEW YORK -- Quite a run at the New York City Marathon for Mary Keitany. Pretty swift debut for Ghirmay Ghebreslassie, too.Keitany won the race for the third straight time Sunday, pulling away with more than 10 miles to go and breezing home to the finish line in Central Park.Alone in the streets, the 34-year-old Kenyan said.Except for the cheering fans, of course, who packed the course to root on the record-setting 52,049 runners from 120 nations as they wound through all five of the citys boroughs.At 20, Ghebreslassie became the youngest mens winner in this event.

He beat Rotich by 62 seconds and Abdi Abdirahman was third in 2:11:23.Defending champion Stanley Biwott of Kenya withdrew at the 10-mile mark with a right calf injury. He also dropped out in the Rio Olympics after getting sick.Desisa, who was the runner-up in New York in 2014 and a two-time Boston Marathon winner, dropped out at the 22nd mile.Tatyana McFadden took the womens wheelchair race, keeping up her long winning streak.
