Deirdre Keane’s decision to run the New York City Marathon while eight months pregnant has sparked a mix of praise and criticism online. On November 8, 2026, at 5:00 a.m. EST, Keane completed the marathon, a feat she hadn’t originally planned to undertake.
When she crossed the finish line, her presence was unmistakable. Her belly, prominently displaying her pregnancy, was covered in glitter, accentuating her beaming smile as she achieved a significant milestone.
