Debutants stole the show at the New York City marathon on Sunday as Ethiopian Gebre Gebremariam won the men's race on his marathon debut and Kenya's Edna Kiplagat took the women's title in her first New York race.
Gebremariam, the 2009 world cross country champion, ran with easy grace through the last hilly stretch in Central Park to pull away from Emmanuel Mutai for a comfortable win in two hours eight minutes 14 seconds.
Kiplagat, winner of this year's Los Angeles Marathon, also waited until the latter stages in Central Park to use her strong strides to claim victory in 2:28:20.
