AND ONE FINAL MESSAGE As always, the safety of the participants, spectators, staff, and volunteers in the New York City Marathon is of paramount concern to both the City of New York and New York Road Runners. We cannot publicize the details of the security effort, which is provided by local, state, and federal agencies. In light of the recent terrorist attacks, it will be even more encompassing than usual. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- If you would like to be removed from this mailing list, please reply to unsubscribe@nyrrc.org with the following subject line: Remove : MA153053
