NEW YORK The 50th running of the New York City Marathon will take place on Nov. 7 with a modified capacity of 33,000 runners, New York Road Runners announced on Monday.
“The marathon is back,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared in his Monday news conference.
The 2020 edition of the race was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic. In recent months, New York Road Runners has slowly been testing smaller-scale races to prepare for the return of the country’s largest marathon. The New York City Marathon typically sees about 55,000 participants, but after consulting with local and state officials for months, Gov. Cuomo announced it would come back at 60% capacity to allow for less potential crowding on the course.
