They weren’t just running the marathon for fun. They were on duty, protecting Kersti Kaljulaid, the president of Estonia, who was running her first New York City Marathon. Secret Service agents are assigned to protect visiting dignitaries and heads of states wherever they go while in the United States, and that includes over the roads and bridges and hills of New York City.
The U.S. agents were Assistant Special Agent in Charge Mason Brayman and Lieutenant Bill Uher. Both agents have run dozens of marathons on their own, but this time, they were running while armed and while carrying some special equipment.
