Women are registering for the 2026 TCS New York City Marathon in record numbers, according to a report published Wednesday. The trend signals growing female participation in one of the world's major marathons.

The 2024 edition of the race, held on November 3, saw runners cross the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in an aerial view captured by photographer Craig T Fruchtman. That event serves as a backdrop to the surge in women's entries for the 2026 race.
