NEW YORK (AP) — Marcel Hug of Switzerland has won the New York City Marathon men’s wheelchair race for the fifth time. He has shattered the course record and has tied Kurt Fearnley for most-ever victories in the men’s wheelchair race. Hug finished the 26.20-mile course in 1 hour, 25 minutes and 26 seconds. The previous mark was 1:29.22 set by Fearnley of Australia in 2006. Susannah Scaroni has won the women’s wheelchair race, also besting the previous course mark.
