Transportation Officials Announce Ban on Unsancationed Cyclists on NYC Marathon Course
City transportation officials have announced a ban on unsanctioned cyclists during the NYC Marathon to ensure safety and accessibility.
The New York City Department of Transportation announced that it is prohibiting unsanctioned cyclists from entering the New York City Marathon course on November 2.
The notice was circulated in an email to run club leaders, outlining that street closures before the race are for emergency vehicles, event setup crews, and medical tents.
For decades, cyclists have used the 26.2-mile course for early morning rides before sunrise, taking advantage of empty streets without cars and trucks.
- Rare opportunities for street takeovers in the city include the Five Boro Bike Tour in May and Summer Streets in August, both of which are sanctioned.
No specific statement was provided by the officials regarding the ban.
