No. Use your energy to help with relief efforts instead B2G Nov 2012 #5
That would make things even worse than holding the marathon already will. NYC Liberal Nov 2012 #2

besides since no one can get into New York or find a place to stay while they are there, this might be the year a New Yorker wins the the hometown marathon.

And I'd be kind of surprised if there wasn't some protests, but I could be wrong.

It would be counter productive and make a bad decision worse.

For whatever it's worth some of the marathon participants are going to skip it and lend a hand to the recovery effort.

I can't for the life of me understand why non-NYers want to say what is appropriate for NY. It's like men trying to make medical decisions for women.

I would, however, be interested in hearing what NY DUers have to say on it.
