Volunteers across the New York City Marathon route are participating in a cleanup effort ahead of the event, removing litter and debris to help preserve the city’s streets and waterways. The initiative aims to reduce waste and promote environmental stewardship before one of the world’s largest running events. Organizers emphasize the importance of keeping public spaces clean, particularly in areas where thousands of participants and spectators will gather. The effort reflects broader community engagement in maintaining urban cleanliness ahead of major public gatherings.
