British wheelchair racer David Weir claimed fifth place in Sunday's New York Marathon.
Weir, the winner of the Great North and Great South wheelchair races, clocked a time of one hour 36.48 minutes on his New York debut.
The race was won by South African Ernst van Dyk, in a course record 1:31.11, ahead of Australia's Kurt Fearnley.
Weir and fellow Briton Tushar Patel led after 10km but van Dyk moved to challenge around halfway.
Patel finished eighth in 1:39.39 with Scotland's Kenny Herriott 12 seconds further back in 10th.
