The Dutchman wasn’t the only former cyclist to run the 42.195 kilometers in the Big Apple last weekend. Alexander Vinokourov was also in New York: the 53-year-old Kazakh finished the race in 3 hours and 5 minutes.

Tom Dumoulin ran the 2026 New York Marathon at lightening pace.
Vinoukorov shows he's in great shape at New York marathon
While his contemporary Michael Boogerd ran the Hague Marathon in 4 hours and 39 minutes on Sunday, Vinoukorov once again demonstrated that he is in exceptional shape for his age. The Kazakh, who lives in Monaco, had already won the Ironman World Championship several times around 2020.
So in New York, he finished in 3 hours and 5 minutes, after having already faced Geoffrey Kamrowor—one of the favorites—in Central Park the day before.
The marathon was ultimately won by the sensational Swede Andreas Almgren: a former 800-meter runner who, remarkably, was making his marathon debut.

Dumoulin and Boogerd also ran the marathon
Dumoulin’s performance drew the most attention, as the former Giro d'Italia winner completed the race in 2 hours and 27 minutes.
“What a day… I’m blessed to have been able to share this with my family. Oh, and a nice personal best of 2:27:12!” he wrote on social media.
Boogerd also completed a long-distance run. “Together with my brother Rini, I ran the #nnmarathondenhaag in 4:39. The time might be a bit disappointing, but my running form, on the other hand, is practically perfect.”

- I’m still figuring out cyclocross: do the riders use the same bikes for the grass, sand and mud, or change them during the race?jeremya02-11-2026
- £50 seems a bit steep for a day out, though I suppose it’s a major event and the demand is clearly there. Do family tickets make it much more affordable?tourdeforce902-11-2026
- Fifteen thousand is a serious crowd for a World Cup round. Glasgow could be a huge moment for British ‘cross if Mason can get near the podium again.jennifer1902-11-2026
- Those junior races are a great addition — it gives young riders a proper spotlight before the elites take over. Hope the course makes the most of the park rather than just being a muddy spectator scrum!samanthak02-11-2026
- Fantastic to see cyclocross getting this kind of response in Scotland. A packed Kelvingrove Park should make for a brilliant atmosphere, especially with Mason racing on home roads.raceready702-11-2026
- No explanation after 15 years feels a bit thin. The budget pressure may be unrelated, but it’s hard not to wonder if all these changes are connected.samanthak02-11-2026
- I’m still learning how team directors work—does the head sports director decide race tactics, or is that mainly down to the riders and the person in the team car?velodromevirtuoso102-11-2026
- A proper changing of the guard at EF, especially with Carapaz going too. Hope they don’t lose the team identity in the reshuffle.cadencekingm02-11-2026
- White coming back just before Wegelius leaves makes the timing look significant, even if EF haven’t said there’s a connection. Interested to see who gets the head DS role.raceready702-11-2026
- Fifteen years is a huge stint in modern cycling. Wegelius’ knowledge of EF and its riders will be hard to replace.robert6502-11-2026
