Ultran runner Fiona O’Keeffe has withdrawn from the New York City Marathon following a surgical procedure, ending her preparations for one of the sport’s most prestigious races. The decision comes after what organizers describe as a setback requiring medical intervention, though details on the surgery or its nature remain limited. O’Keeffe, a two-time winner of the event, had been training for the marathon amid high expectations. Fans and competitors will now watch to see how she recovers and whether she can still aim for a strong finish in future races.
