Runners Compete In N.Y. Marathon Amid Heightened Security

Top finishers completed the TCS N.Y. Marathon this morning "against the backdrop of heightened security after a terrorist attack earlier in the week" in the city. NYPD Chief Carlos Gomez said the marathon was a “very-well policed event, with many layers of security" (USATODAY.com, 11/5). A "massive, multi-agency security plan" was in place to "protect the 51,000 runners expected" (NYDAILYNEWS.com, 11/4). Shalane Flanagan "became the first American woman" to win the event since '77, while Geoffrey Kamworwor was the winner on the men's side (WASHINGTONPOST.com, 11/5).
