New York Marathon
NEW YORK, USA
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the marathon of New York City of 42 miles scheduled for this Sunday has been canceled amid recovery efforts after Hurricane Sandy.
The news comes after Bloomberg said a few days ago that the marathon would not be suspended arguing that it would benefit the city’s economy.
However, Bloomberg and other officials decided to cancel it because “they did not want the competition or its participants to be tarnished.” (MZ)
