NEW YORK CITY (WABC) — A star-studded line-up of runners is gearing up for the TCS New York City Marathon on Nov. 1.<\/p>\n
NYRR announced on Tuesday the A-listers participating and the organizations they’re supporting in the commemorative 50th anniversary of the five-boro course.<\/p>\n
That includes Eyewitness News’ own Liz Cho and Mike Marza, who will be running in support of the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of their colleague Bill Ritter, who stepped away from the anchor desk in June after revealing his Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis.<\/p>\n
“The TCS New York City Marathon brings together people from around the globe, and our incredible lineup of celebrity runners helps shine a spotlight on the sport and the power of movement to inspire and connect people,” said Rob Simmelkjaer, New York Road Runners CEO. “This year, they’ll join 60,000 runners and soak in the cheers, excitement, and unmatched energy that only New York City can deliver. They will also be raising money for worthy causes important to them and supporting our goal of raising $100 million for our Official Charity Partners in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the race running through all five boroughs.”<\/p>\n
