NEW YORK – Their race was called off, but marathoners were still on the move in New York on Sunday.
Hundreds of runners wearing marathon shirts and backpacks full of supplies took the ferry to hard-hit Staten Island and ran to stricken neighborhoods to help. Thousands of others poured into Central Park to put in their 26.2 miles runs after the last-minute cancellation of the world's largest marathon because of Superstorm Sandy.
"A lot of people just wanted to finish what they started," said Lance Svendsen, who organized an alternative marathon called Run Anyway. By 8:45 a.m., his group had sent off five waves of runners from the marathon's official finish line, which had not yet been taken down. "It is amazing. My guess is about 600 people have left so far."
Italians stretched en masse near the Plaza Hotel. The Germans started from Columbus Circle. Everyone plunged into the park to pursue their own race. Some ran around the park clockwise, some counterclockwise, startling dog walkers with a splash of color.

500 would be marathoners where admitted last minute to the Hamilton walk for a cure marathon, it turned what was going to be a minor inconvenience, into a major pain in the ass, I cant imagine having to deal with that, while trying to deal with the more important task of cleanup after Sandy.

Naw, the extra people had very little to do with it, my city is very east west, so they ran the marathon north south, basically blocking off part of the extreme east end of the city from the west, the extra people just meant that the blockage was in place for an extra hour or two. My problem was that the marathon started from the exact location as my sons hockey practice.

I just stayed home, no biggie, I thought it was awesome that we opened up the extra spaces and let people that wanted to run do so.
