Andreas Almgren Wins 2026 New York City Marathon in Debut with 2:06:01 Time
Swedish runner Andreas Almgren won the men's division of the 2026 New York City Marathon in his debut, finishing in 2:06:01, the third-fastest time in the event's history. Previously a financial analyst and data scientist with a master's in mathematics, Almgren quit his job after a 2024 Olympic injury to focus on running full-time. He had set a European half-marathon record earlier in 2026 and chose the NYC Marathon for its competitive opportunity, finishing ahead of Italy's Yemaneberhan Crippa.
