Thanks for the link TJFlute. I think we all understand why it was cancelled. It would have been shameful for all those volunteers to work on a marathon when so many are still suffering and need help elsewhere. However I'm glad that so many were able to put ll that training to good use - I wonder what a lap of central park actually is? Here's a pic of a huge group of would've been marathoners taking the ferry to Staten Island to do some volunteer work:

All respect to them!!

Fraz, to run around central park you would be looking at 10.3K or about 6.5miles. I am so happy they cancelled the marathon as well. We,who live in the States, need to be supporting our fellow americans at this time.

A great spirit, especially to use the running to help others! A talking point for those runners for years to come no doubt....
