This Sunday, November 2, 2025, marks Obiri’s fourth New York City Marathon—which, as of last year, was the biggest marathon in the world. It runs through all five boroughs, crossing iconic bridges and ending in Central Park. The 2022 race was her debut; she placed sixth. “It was amazing,” she says, recalling the roar of the crowd. “When you do something like this for the first time and you like the place, you’re going to say, ‘This is my best place to be.’ New York is my best place to be.”
