petty.

Troll much?

Or you could learn from the Canucks that went down to run and instead pitched in to help when they found the race had been cancelled.

"Francis Ng was ready to run a marathon in New York City on Sunday but now the Toronto marathoner is instead looking to pitch in as the region recovers from this week's massive storm."

A good judge of character is how you react when a crisis detours one's life.

It's more important that instead of being a "marathon runner", you actually get a LIFE.

Do your self a favor and eat a calorie or two. You might want to try lifting weights. It's healthier for ya.

Buy travel insurance next time the agent offers it to you!!! Pretty simple.

What's disgusting about this whole thing is that you're wrong... NYRR probably made even more money than they would have!
They refuse to refund so keep the runner's money and all the advertisers and expo company's money, and then don't have to pay to actually put on a race.

NYRR are the real selfish bastards in this situation!

They should've taken the high road, cancelled the race as soon as possible and asked runners to divert their entry fees to relief support... Runners don't show up crowding everything, they get to save their travel expenses, and a large donation is made to help relief where it's most needed (a bunch a runners, running a few cups of dry rice out to victims is a terribly inefficient way to help.)

Whole thing is a tragic disaster. Blame NYRR and Bloomberg for the marathon mess... greedy f-ing bastards.

Go ahead and go there and do your little run. Don't forget to bring your own bottled water. I don't think you'll find any available. And make sure you stash in your jock strap as you'll probably get jacked for any water you have visible on your body. Good luck.

Reuters blogger Felix Salmon, down by the ravaged South Street Seaport, tweeted bright and early this morning: "Biggest problem: too many volunteers! Also, the unionized construction crews don't seem too happy."
... for all those telling the runners to go volunteer. More skilled, organized labor is needed, not volunteers.
quit accusing the runners, who bring $350M worth of revenue to the city, of being selfish.

No it really is not.It's all the people who are bitching because they were not prepared for the storm of the century, and in turn have to ruin an event that was able to be hosted by those who paid for it. But because those people were not prepared, they have complained to the extent that the city was forced to cancel the event.

no one gives a shit you can run for miles and miles

It's called travel insurance. Sucks to be you, karma is a bitch.

I'll say about all your due is a rain check. If you paid any kind of entry fees, you should be able to apply to the next race.

Lond distance running is bad for the body.

^that^ plus 10 to the power 10.

selfish prick.

step lively, don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

If you do class action lawsuit let me know. I'm in too. Bloomberg and the classless NY clan should be ashamed. If no marathon, why Giants vs Steelers?

Were you too stupid to understand that a hurricane was going to hit New york City? Save your money next time and run around your own neighborhood. Get a life.
