Newyorský maratón zrušený !!!

2012 ING New York City Marathon je zrušený

Mesto New York a New York Road Runners oznamujú, že v roku 2012 bol ING NYC Marathon zrušený. Je to daľší z následkov hurikánu Sendy, ktorý zasiahol pred pár dňami aj New York. Na zrušenie maratónu mala veľký vplyv aj verejná mienka a kritici, ktorí poukazovali na to, že konanie maratónu, by odpútavalo pozornosť a zamestnávalo políciu a daľšie zložky od ich momentálne prvoradej úlohe, napomáhať ľuďom v núdzi po búrke.

2012 ING New York City Marathon Is Canceled

The City of New York and New York Road Runners announce that the 2012 ING NYC Marathon has been canceled. While holding the race would not require diverting resources from the recovery effort, it is clear that it has become the source of controversy and division. We cannot allow a controversy over an athletic event — even one as meaningful as this — to distract attention away from all the critically important work that is being done to help New York City recover from the storm. New York Road Runners will have additional information in the days ahead and we thank you for your dedication to the spirit of this race. The Expo will remain open tomorrow.
