Ctis the second time that the world’s most popular cross-country race has been canceled, following the 2012 break after Hurricane Sandy. The canceled edition should have been of an exceptional nature, as it was the 50th New York Marathon, established in 1970. “Canceling this year’s marathon is a huge disappointment to all involved,” commented the New York Road Runners CEO Michael Capiraso quoted in a statement, “But that was clearly the way to go from a health safety perspective. “
