"NYC Marathon to Return This Fall at 60% Capacity With About33KRunners Participating"
"The iconic New York City Marathon will return this fall with a modified size of participating runners.
New York Road Runners (NYRR) announced Monday that it will host about 33,000 runners for the 50th running of the 2021 TCS New York City Marathon. The modified field size was determined in partnership with the State of New York and the Mayor’s Office of New York City.
“In 2019, the New York City marathon broke records to become the world’s largest marathon ever,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “While canceling the race was the right choice in 2020, we are excited to welcome runners back to our beautiful city. New Yorkers worked hard to flatten the curve after the COVID-19 outbreak and it is that work that allows us to be able to take this step in bringing normalcy back to our state.”"
