Steinfeld denied that.Thanks in part to contributors of the Gift of Light campaign, The Bay Lights will return as a permanent installation in 2016. Steinfeld said the NYRRC needs to limit the number of guides on the course and said there have been cases of guides running far away from the people they claimed to be guiding.īut the Achilles Club’s Traum said the NYRRC is behaving badly because the club is starting is own annual marathon next spring, and sees it as a threat. “I just wanted somebody with me for safety,” Hines said, noting she has been in several accidents in past races.Īnd Braam Mouton, a volunteer from South Africa, said an NYRRC official told a runner who has cerebral palsy and psychological problems that he could not have a guide at all times during the race. Helene Hines, a multiple-sclerosis sufferer who, despite having a kidney removed last month, is the favorite in the hand-cranked wheelchair category, said the NYRRC rejected her request for a guide. Not only did the official challenge Paul on his need for three guides, but another NYRRC official questioned whether Paul was actually blind, Lipsey said. Rick Lipsey, a Sports Illustrated writer who will guide blind Burmese runner Paul Ngin Thian Mung, said an NYRRC official registering disabled athletes “was just giving us a really tough time.” Some disabled runners and their guides said they were made to feel unwelcome this week when they tried to register for the race. “We have always been supportive of athletes with disabilities and continue to be,” he said yesterday. separate start time for disabled athletes is too late in the morning, and means some will finish the race in the dark and cold on streets open to traffic.Īllan Steinfeld, president of the NYRRC, denied Traum’s claims. Traum said the New York Road Runners Club, which organizes the five-borough, 26.2-mile race, has tried to arbitrarily limit the number of handicapped runners and their volunteer guides. “They feel that we’re a nuisance … They disrespect the athletes,” said Dick Traum, president of the Achilles Track Club, whose members include wheelchair racers, amputees and people with cerebral palsy, brain injuries and other disabilities.

The city’s leading disabled-runners group says New York City Marathon organizers are discriminating against the race’s handicapped participants.
