Venue | New York City, United States |

The 44th New York City Marathon took place on November 2, 2014. It was won by Wilson Kipsang of Kenya with a time of 2:10:59 and Mary Keitany of Kenya with a time of 2:25:07.[1][2][3] It was the largest marathon ever, with a record number of 50869 starters and 50564 finishers, and an average finish time of 4:34:45.[1][4] With 50,564 finishers, the 2014 New York City Marathon broke the record for most finishers.[5]
The winds were exceptional this year, forcing race officials to move the start line of the wheelchair and handcycle competitions to the Brooklyn side of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, shortening the course to 23.2 miles.[1][6] Kurt Fearnley of Australia won the men's wheelchair division with a time of 1:30:55, earning his fifth New York City win.[1][7] Tatyana McFadden of Clarksville, Maryland successfully defended her title with a time of 1:42:16 on the shortened course, and, as a result, has become not only the sole person to have ever won four major marathons in a year (Boston, London, Chicago, and New York City), but also the sole person to do so two years in a row.[1][6]
This was the first marathon for which Tata Consultancy Services was the title sponsor.[8] In addition, the one-millionth finisher of the New York City Marathon (since the marathon was first held in 1970), Katherine Slingluff of Brooklyn, completed her race with a time of 4:43:36.[1][9]
