The marathon is canceled due to the coronavirus
- The 2020 New York Marathon will not take place. The organizers of the world’s most famous marathon have decided to cancel the event, which was scheduled to take place on November 1, 2020. The decision was made “due to the coronavirus and health concerns for runners, spectators, volunteers and all the partners who participate in the event, ”explain the New York Road Runners, the organizers.
- The cancellation was immediately supported by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. “While the marathon is an iconic and beloved event in our city, I applaud the New York Road Runners for putting the health and safety of spectators and runners first,” writes the mayor.
- Each year, the New York Marathon brings together more than 50,000 competitors from 5 continents. Since the creation of the event in 1970, this is the second time that the marathon has been canceled. The first cancellation took place in 2012, after the passage of Hurricane Sandy.
