And the NYC Marathon Winners Are . . .
Although she has won the race three times, favorite Paula Radcliffe placed fourth in the New York Marathon. The first woman to cross the finish line was Derartu Tulu — the first Ethiopian woman to claim first place in the NYC Marathon in its 40-year history.
Tulu ran the course in two hours, 28 minutes, 52 seconds and was there to comfort Radcliffe as the world record holder limped across the finish line, holding her knee and crying in agony.

Katie Holmes to Run in NYC Marathon
Instead of hitting the red carpet in NYC this weekend, Katie Holmes will be hitting the pavement, literally.
Somehow between being a mom to her adorable daughter Suri and fending off the media from following her everywhere she goes, Katie found time to train for the NYC Marathon that she is running in this weekend (Sunday November 4th).
