Transportation Officials Announce Ban on Unsactioned 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 the ban, stating that unsanctioned cyclists will be prohibited from entering the course on November 2.

The ban is intended to prioritize emergency vehicles, event setup crews, and medical tents during street closures in the hours before the race.

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