NY marathon 2001, Rudy Giuliani insists the marathon go on as planned to show the resiliance of NYC after 9/11. 2012, Bloomberg cancels marathon after Superstorm Sandy, NYC needs to heal. So which is the image of New Yorkers that is supposed to be the model that every one else should aspire to be?

Timeing was a tad different. The marathon was not days after 9/11.

I've been very proud of the racers that were all planning on participating. I heard they had a mock marathon and ran to locations where New York citizens were in need. Gotta love American's spirit.
