I read somewhere the NY Marathon brings in about $340 million to the city.

This is still so wrong in many ways to proceed with it.

If the hotels were open, restaurants open, and the airlines were running on schedule, sure.

Just providing the water to runners is callous when some parts of the city don’t have clean water; in some cases they’ve been told boiling won’t make it drinkable.

Staten Islanders put it best when they said “we’re still finding bodies”...

Maybe a city that hasn't been underwater for three days and counting...
