American runner Carrie Bradshaw, 45, broke a Guinness World Record at the 2026 New York City Marathon and marked the achievement with a visit to the famous West Village brownstone featured in "Sex and the City." Bradshaw shared a photograph of herself on the building's stoop on Instagram on November 3, days after her record-setting performance.
The marathon, held on November 1, saw Bradshaw claim a world record in her age category, though the specific record category was not disclosed in initial reports. Her celebratory post at the fictional Carrie Bradshaw's apartment drew attention for the coincidence of names between the athlete and the television character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker.
Bradshaw's accomplishment adds to the storied history of the New York City Marathon, which annually attracts elite and amateur runners from around the world to the five-borough course.
