NYC Marathon Course to Ban Unsanctioned Cyclists

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 the prohibition on Thursday, stating that unsanctioned cyclists will not be allowed to enter the course on November 2.

According to the notice, street closures before the race are reserved for emergency vehicles, event setup crews, and medical tents.

Since at least the early 1990s, cyclists have used large stretches of the 26.2 mile course to organize rides.
