The New York Marathon just added another all-star to an already incredibly talented field.
National champion and former American marathon record holder Keira D’Amato will run at the New York City Marathon on Sunday, November 6.
“Competing in New York in November was something my team had discussed with NYRR over the spring and summer, but I felt it was important to focus on the Berlin Marathon and wait to make a final decision until after that,” D’Amato said in a press release. “I recovered from the race very well, though, and resumed training and workouts quickly. I had a great experience in my first NYC race at the Mastercard New York Mini 10K in June, and I’m excited to return for 26.2. November 6 also happens to be my son’s birthday, and it feels powerful that on the eighth anniversary of becoming a mother, I get to race my first-ever TCS New York City Marathon. It’s time to celebrate.”
D’Amato held the American record in the marathon up until last weekend, when Emily Sission broke her record at the Chicago Marathon.
D’Amato holds the American record in the 10-Mile and finished 6th in the Berlin Marathon in September.
