NYC MARATHON SUNDAY

Submitted by ub on

Over one million dollars is being spent this year because now more than ever the safety of runners and spectators is of highest priority.

This year, NYRR has partnered with one of the world's top security firms to conduct a top-to-bottom analysis of our existing internal security program. Their recommendations will further strengthen a comprehensive security plan. There are a number of visible security enhancements in place for this year's race, as well as several behind-the-scenes security elements.

There will be bridge and street closings in all five boroughs on Sunday between 8 am and 6 pm
for the NYC Marathon. Details are available on the DOT web site’s weekend traffic advisory page at http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/motorist/wkndtraf.shtml.
