Meb Keflezighi, who in April became the first American man to win the Boston Marathon since 1983, will run the New York City Marathon on November 2. It will be Keflezighi's ninth appearance at the marathon, which he won in 2009 to end a 27-year drought of American champions in that race.

Keflezighi, the 2004 Olympic marathon silver medalist and fourth place finisher at the 2012 Olympics, has been a six-time top ten finisher in New York, beginning with his marathon debut of 2:12:35 for ninth place in 2002. He was second in New York in 2004 and third in 2005. His fastest time on the course, 2:09:13, came in 2011, when he finished sixth.

Keflezighi’s Boston win came in a personal marathon best of 2:08:37. Last weekend he ran his first serious race since Boston at the Bix 7 in Davenport, Iowa, where he placed 12th. Keflezighi is also scheduled to race this Saturday's Beach to Beacon 10K in Maine and the Falmouth Road Race on Cape Cod on August 17.

In New York, Keflezighi will run as a Team For Kids Ambassador, supporting and raising funds for New York Road Runners youth running programs for more than 200,000 schoolchildren in the city and around the world.
