Jean battled the very warm weather to head 16,662 of the 47,743 total finishers

This was 61-year-old Jean’s third marathon this year after Manchester and Inverness races, and other than the overall downhill Inverness marathon, her finish time of 5 hours 8 minutes was her best time for over three years.

Jean warmed up for the race on the day before, when running in the Abbotts 5-kilometre race, which is over the last 5 Kilometres of the marathon race course, through the streets of Manhattan.
