A major shift in the route of a long-standing race has been announced after 15 years, marking the first alteration of its kind. Organizers say the change aims to minimize disruption in the Bronx while addressing concerns over blocked access to a local supermarket. The adjustment comes as part of efforts to balance community needs with the event’s logistical demands. Residents and businesses in the area may see a noticeable difference in how the race affects daily life.


The course change, the race’s first in the last 15 years, is supposed to reduce the impact of the race in the Bronx by restoring access to a supermarket.
