Sandy will not put a dent in the city’s plans to hold the NYC Marathon next Tuesday, reported the Huffington Post this morning.

Superstorm Sandy shut down transportation, closed airports, flooded streets and left scores of neighborhoods without power – formidable obstacles for the organizers.

“The marathon has always been a special day for New Yorkers as a symbol of the vitality and resiliency of this city,” New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said in a statement.
