50,000 runners are estimated to be competing on Sunday and in preparation, the Department of Transportation will paint a 26.2 mile stripe to mark the marathon route across the city’s five boroughs beginning on Thursday.The stripe, which will take 50 gallons of blue paint to complete, will be four inches wide and traverse five bridges in the city and approximately 300 intersections.
All participants will be screened before they reach the start line in Staten Island and the marathon will be a “secure, visibly policed event,” Police Commissioner Keechant Sewell told the ABC News local affiliate WABC.
