1 For Immediate Release Contacts: NYRR Media Relations Stuart Lieberman (o): (c): (e) Chris Weiller: (o) (c) (e) Paralympic Medalists Tatyana McFadden and Ernst van Dyk to Defend TCS New York City Marathon Titles on Sunday, November 6 Talented professional wheelchair athlete field boasts 25 Paralympians, including seven athletes who won a combined 19 medals at the Rio 2016 Games McFadden, an NYRR Team for Kids Ambassador, to back newly launched NYRR Youth Wheelchair Racing Program New York, September 20, 2016 The best of the best wheelchair racers in the world will descend on New York City on Sunday, November 6, for the TCS New York City Marathon, including the USA s 17-time Paralympic medalist Tatyana McFadden and South Africa s eight-time Paralympic medalist Ernst van Dyk both looking to defend their titles on the 26.2-mile course announced Peter Ciaccia, president of events for New York Road Runners and race director of the TCS New York City Marathon. McFadden, racing as an NYRR Team for Kids Ambassador, will go for her fourth consecutive and fifth overall title on the five-borough course, while van Dyk will go for his second consecutive and third overall title in a professional wheelchair athlete field that includes 25 Paralympians, seven of whom won a combined 19 medals seven of those gold at the Rio 2016 Games. We are very excited to have racing sensations Tatyana and Ernst return to defend their TCS New York City Marathon titles as part of an absolutely fantastic field, said Ciaccia. Our professional wheelchair athlete field truly represents the cream of the crop in para-sport this year, with many of these athletes coming off phenomenal, Paralympic-record breaking performances at the Rio 2016 Games. Having Tatyana also support and donate a racing chair to our newly launched NYRR Youth Wheelchair Racing program is a true testament to how she is inspiring the next generation as an NYRR Team for Kids Ambassador. McFadden, 27, of Clarksville, Maryland, is coming off a spectacular six-medal Paralympic performance in Rio, including gold medals in the 400, 800, 1500, and 5000-meter T54 events. It was the most medals for a U.S. track and field athlete at a single Paralympics since McFadden lowered the New York City Marathon event record last year by seven minutes and 20 seconds with a time of 1:43:04, which helped her complete an unprecedented third-straight Grand Slam sweep of the London, Boston, Chicago, and New York City marathons in a single year. Already this year, she has won both the Boston Marathon and London Marathon and finished second in the
2 Paralympic Marathon to vault herself to the top of the Abbott World Marathon Majors Wheelchair standings with 66 points. I am so excited to return to New York City and race again as an NYRR Team for Kids Ambassador to help inspire the next generation of racing greats, McFadden said. Another TCS New York City Marathon title would be the perfect way to cap off what has been an amazing year, and to finish my season with a win in my home country would make it even sweeter. Fresh off her winning performances in Rio, McFadden will attend PS 333, Manhattan School for Children, on Tuesday, September 20 to help lead an NYRR Youth Wheelchair Racing Clinic and donate a racing chair to NYRR s Youth Wheelchair Racing program. Twenty-five NYRR Mighty Milers both able-bodied and disabled students will take part in the clinic, which will highlight NYRR s first-ever and free youth wheelchair program launched in early September. The program invites youth with a physical disability ages 7-21 to learn the fundamentals of wheelchair racing and try it out at Icahn Stadium in New York City. Schools, community centers, and organizations throughout New York City s five boroughs are also encouraged to host NYRR Wheelchair Racing Clinics. Van Dyk, 43, of South Africa, won the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon by one second in 1:30:54, the second-fastest time in event history. He is the two-time defending champion in the United Airlines NYC Half, having lowered the course record in 2015 to 48:54 before topping that this season with a time of 45:39. In addition to competing in the Rio 2016 Paralympic Marathon, he won gold at the Paralympics last week in handcycling. He has represented South Africa at every Paralympics since 1992 and has won the Boston Marathon a record 10 times, including six consecutive victories from I m really excited to be returning to New York City to defend my title, van Dyk said. New York City remains one of my favorite marathons because of the many ways in which the course challenges us as racers. The added twist of the Abbott World Marathon Majors this year makes it very exciting with all of us fighting for points as the series is nearing its conclusion.
