NEW YORK (Nov. 1) — Zouhair Talbi ran 2:06:43 to lead the American men at the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, in New York City. The race, which celebrated the 50th anniversary, started in Staten Island and finished in Central Park.

Talbi, who ran with the lead pack for the majority of the World Athletics Platinum Label road race, finished sixth overall behind Sweden’s world half marathon champion Andreas Almgren, who won the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon in 2:06:01 to make a remarkable start to his marathon career.

Talbi, running his third marathon this year, following his appearances in Houston and Boston, owns a personal best of 2:05:45 from the Houston Marathon earlier this year. He was also the top American finisher at the Boston Marathon in September.

Meanwhile, the USA was well represented on the vibrant roads of New York City on Sunday. HOKA NAZ Elite’s Ahmed Muhumed, the reigning USATF 4 Mile Championships winner, clocked an impressive 2:07:08 on his marathon debut to take seventh place overall in the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon results and finished second among the home starters.

Ryan Ford posted 2:07:17 and North American record-holder Conner Mantz crossed at 2:07:27 to round out four Americans inside 2:08. Aidan Troutner also ran well at the World Athletics Platinum Label road race, clocking 2:08:54 for a personal best in Central Park. Joe Klecker and Joel Reichow also finished inside 2:10 to complete the top USA men’s results at the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon.
