New York Marathon 2026 Results: How to Find Official Race Results

2026 New York City Marathon results at a glance

The 2026 TCS New York City Marathon took place on Sunday, November 1, in New York City. The official NYRR event page lists the event at 8:00 a.m. New York time, but runners started in separate waves, so that listing is not the start time for every participant. On November 1, U.S. daylight saving time ended at 2:00 a.m.; 8:00 a.m. in New York was Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5), or 1:00 p.m. UTC. For the event date and wave schedule, check the official NYRR race page. The DST date is confirmed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.

For the complete participant list, use NYRR Race Results. NYRR says live runner tracking during the marathon is unofficial and directs runners to its results site for official results after the event.

Elite open-marathon podiums

World Athletics’ final results list these top three finishers in the men’s and women’s marathon. This is a podium snapshot, not the complete searchable field; use NYRR’s results site to look up other runners and divisions.

These times match the World Athletics final results. They should not be used to infer a recreational runner’s place, age-group standing, or wheelchair result; those require the relevant category in the full event results.

How to find a runner’s official 2026 result

1. Open NYRR’s results page. Go to results.nyrr.org/races, the official race-results portal linked from the marathon organizer’s page.
2. Search for the event or runner. The page provides a search field for a race, runner, or year. Search for “2026 TCS New York City Marathon” to open the correct edition, or enter the runner’s name. Confirm that the selected event says 2026; the portal also contains results from many other years.
3. Check the runner’s identity. If more than one entry has the same or a similar name, compare the bib number if available and verify the event and division before relying on the row. A name match alone may not identify the right participant.
4. Open the individual result. Review the displayed finish time, placement, category, and any available split times. Use the final event result for a confirmed finish, rather than a tracking update captured while the runner was still on the course.
5. Use the NYRR app for mobile tracking. NYRR says its official app supports runner tracking and provides race leaderboards and official results. Tracking during the race is useful for progress updates, but NYRR labels live results as unofficial until the event concludes.

The same route works whether you are checking your own result, following a friend, or looking up an elite finisher. If a search returns an older race, go back to the race list and select the 2026 marathon before comparing times.

Net time, gun time, and splits: what the numbers mean

Net time measures the runner’s time from crossing the start line to crossing the finish line. Because the marathon uses staggered starts, a participant may cross the start after the first wave has begun. The NYRR event page describes a runner’s finish time as net time from the start-line crossing. Gun time begins at the official start signal, so it includes time spent waiting to cross the start line. NYRR’s race terminology guide explains the distinction.

For a recreational runner, net time is usually the most useful measure of how long the course took from their own start to finish. Placement rules can differ by division: NYRR’s 2026 event page says the professional/invited open-division prize order is based on gun time. When comparing two people, use the same time type and category shown in the official results rather than mixing a net-time result with a gun-time leaderboard.

Split times record progress at timing points along the course. They help show where a runner passed a checkpoint, but an interim split is not the final finish time. If a split is missing, check the runner’s final status and result page before concluding that the runner did not finish.

If a result is missing or looks wrong

• Confirm the year and event. Search the exact 2026 TCS New York City Marathon listing; the NYRR database includes many past races.
• Try a fuller name and check the bib. A spelling variation or a duplicate name can make the first search result misleading. Verify the runner’s identity using the details displayed on the result page.
• Wait for the official record if you are viewing live information. Runner tracking and live results during the race are provisional. NYRR identifies the results website as the place for official post-event results.
• Check the event’s finisher rules. NYRR’s 2026 page says official finishers are recorded through 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time; participants crossing after that cutoff are not recorded as official finishers and do not receive an official event result. A medal alone does not confirm an official result listing.
• Contact NYRR if the official entry still appears incorrect. Use the help or contact link on NYRR’s results site and provide the runner’s name, bib number, and race year so support can identify the record.

For the fastest reliable lookup, begin with NYRR’s official results portal, select the 2026 event, and verify the runner’s identity and time type on the individual record. Use World Athletics for confirmed elite race results and the NYRR listing for the full event field.
