The New York City Marathon will run through the streets of the five boroughs on Nov. 5, the first Sunday in November.
The NYPD is planning a more robust counterterrorism deployment than normal for this Sunday’s marathon, but said there are no credible threats related to the event.
Officials pointed to an increase in antisemitic and anti-Muslim hate crimes amid the Israel-Hamas war as the reason for the heightened measures.
The NYPD is also closing nearly a hundred streets in all five boroughs along the 26-mile course. Many of the city’s bridges will also be closed including the Verrazzano, the southbound Pulaski Bridge, and the eastbound Queensboro Bridge, including the pedestrian and bike path. To and from the Bronx, the Willis Avenue and Madison Avenue Bridges will also be closed.
