Roma Oct 2012 9:31am, 31 Oct 2012 298 posts	0 Roma Reading the comments on that article controversial, the majority think the marathon should be cancelled. Unfortunately NYRR have gone completely silent on everyone who has paid their fee, booked flights, hotels, insurance, transfers etc etc and now doesn't know what to do. Oh, except pay the whole lot again to defer to next year. I have huge sympathy for New York and want to do what's best for them. Someone please tell me what that is.
