NEW YORK—The New York City Marathon scheduled for Nov. 1 was canceled Wednesday because of the CCP virus pandemic.

New York Road Runners announced the cancellation of the world’s largest marathon after coordinating with the mayor’s office and deciding the race posed too many health and safety concerns for runners, volunteers, spectators and others.
