NEW YORK (AP) ― Five days before New York hosts its namesake marathon, its public transportation is shut down, its airports closed, its streets flooded and power out in many neighborhoods.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Tuesday he expected Sunday’s race to go on as scheduled after superstorm Sandy. Marathon organizers were moving forward with their plans ― leaving open the possibility of changes from past years.
“The marathon has always been a special day for New Yorkers as a symbol of the vitality and resiliency of this city,” New York Road Runners president Mary Wittenberg said in a statement.
