Just for elites?
It would be nice to have a circuit style race for elites as they had done for the men’s olympic trials. It’s seems feasible since you won’t have the registration fees of tens of thousands of individuals to fund the infrastructure of going across the five boroughs.
I find it highly unlikely that the marathon happens at all. Didn’t they even cancel the postponed Boston marathon?
It might be possible. De Blasio could bring in the Venezuela military to keep the rioters out of Central Park, but not all five boroughs!
did you see the USATF guidelines ? There will not be any mass events (even an elite only event would fall under that) until there is a vaccine

Do you have a link? If NYRR says they can have a safe event I’d trust them more than a blanket statement now from USATF.
I’m hopeful we can have outdoor events before a vaccine. Texas is allowing people sporting events outdoors with 25% capacity. We shouldn’t make blanket bans on what’s going to happen especially when we don’t even know what the situation will be in a few months.
These protests are a good litmus test for opening things back up, like running races. You're talking very large gatherings of people...all going back to various places. If, in a few weeks, cases in these areas don't spike, you'll see things like running races come back in the late summer and fall.
Impossible. There will be complete chaos with when people started to get lapped.
