NEW YORK, (Reuters) – The TCS New York City Marathon will be back online for its 50th Anniversary on Sunday. This is after the virtual race in 2020. Participants are eager to reach the Blue Finish Line painted within Central Park.

Ted Metellus (race director, New York Road Runners), said that “Coming from such a pause, very similar what we experienced in 01 after 9/11… was a shot in the arm city needed”, that gave the city the energy and life it needed. It also provided a sense of connection and unity that city required.”

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic last year, nearly 16,000 runners finished their 26.2-mile (42.2 km) route in 108 different countries. Since its inception in 1970 as a Central Park race, the event has become one of the most popular marathons in the world.

On Nov. 7, approximately 33,000 people will travel across all five boroughs of the City.

“To have the run is incredible,” said Meb Keflezighi, 2009 New York City Marathon champion and a 2004 Olympic silver medalist, calling it “a celebration of life.”

Dermot Shea, New York City’s Police Commissioner was happy to see the event return.

“Can you put to sleep virtually any thing in 2022?” He asked.
