How do I tell people who have no place to go ... that you have to leave ...
I'm a former "New Yawker" and marathon runner and the decision to hold the race is wrong.
However, where do (say) 20,000-30,000 runners go when they can't get a room?

Any runner uncaring enough to show up to race deserves to be turned away.

I would be willing to make an exception for any who use their already-purchased plane ticket as a reason to go to NYC to volunteer for a few days.
