Lead

 * "In the wheelchair races, American Daniel Romanchuk (1:37:24) and Switzerland's Manuela Schär (1:44:20) won the men's and women's races," - repetition of "races"
 * Fixed

Course

 * "The runners then enter The Bronx for miles 19-20" - miles 19 and 20
 * fixed

Field

 * "Also racing was 2018 Boston Marathon winner Des Linden, 2019 Boston Marathon winner Worknesh Degefa, and 2019 Tokyo Marathon winner Ruti Aga." - repetition of "winner"
 * Reworded and reorganised


 * "She faced stiffest competition from Americans Tatyana McFadden, Amanda McGrory, and Susannah Scaroni." - think this sentence could be reworded a little
 * Reworded


 * "The wheelchair race started at 8:30 EST (UTC-5), the women's race at 9:10 EST and the men's race at 9:40 EST." - repetition of "race"
 * Removed words


 * "The winner of the men and women's races won $100,000 each, the winners of the wheelchair races won $25,000" - repetition of "winner(s)"
 * Reworded


 * "and a prize of $25,000 was given to the fastest man and woman from the Unites States." - typo; should be United
 * Fixed


 * "The temperature on the day of the race was an ideal 45 °F (7 °C)." - ideal according to whom?
 * I placed it in quote marks as it's what's used in the citation. I don't think there should be direct attribution as the inline citation is clear, so a reader can just follow that.


 * 2018 New York City Marathon and 2019 Boston Marathon are both linked twice in this section
 * Removed links

Race summary

 * "Keitany and Jepkosgei were together," - for which position?
 * In the lead; fixed


 * ABC News doesn't need to be italicised
 * Removed italics


 * "but was caught within the next mile." - caught by whom?
 * Not done. It says in the sentence that he broke away from the lead pack, meaning it is implied that he was caught by the pack.


 * "an unsponsored Ethiopian who did not start with the elite runners instead starting with the open field," - repetition of "start(ing)"
 * Reworded


 * "He looked "bewildered" standing next to the two other podium finishers." - according to whom?
 * Removed sentence. Trivial


 * The Bronx does not need to be linked here since it is already linked in the course section
 * Removed link

Non-elite race

 * Is there any more information about the non-elite race to expand on instead of just having a single sentence in one paragpraph in one section?
 * I added a bit more. Sources rarely go into detail regarding the non-elite field. Usually it's just trivial mentions of celebrities who were running, which I don't include.

Results

 * Table headers are missing from all the tables
 * sub-section headers removed and table headers added


 * The sources for the results should be with the results, rather than underneath the references section
 * Added to top


 * All tables should be MOS:DTABTUT compliant with the addition of "scope="col"s
 * Added


 * The athletes names in all the tables should be sorted by surname with the template
 * Put names in the template
