Perhaps it was the public relations nightmare of defending the marathon while Sandy victims are evicted from their hotels onto the streets to make room for joggers?
It would have been a disaster if the race ran as scheduled and someone over the weekend died as a result of a lack of being rescued
I think those evicted from the hotels and their supporters would have shown their displeasure towards the runners and officials on national TV for all the world to see.
That was the right thing to do in these circumstances.
