NEW YORK — After a canceled race in 2020 and a halved field in 2021 because of the pandemic, the New York City Marathon is returning at full force this November.
The race welcomed over 50,000 starters from 2013 to 2019, the field size organizers said would take the line in November.
“This race is the strongest proof of New York’s unrelenting spirit and determination, and we are proud to announce that, this year, we’ll be back at full capacity,” Mayor Adams said in a statement. “With 50,000 runners competing in November, the city that never sleeps will be where champions are made.”
