Marathon canceled, 'Race2Recover' matches runners' hotel rooms with Sandy's displaced

With the NYC Marathon finally canceled last night, a website -- http://race2recover.com/ -- is aiming at taking hotel rooms that runners will not use and getting them to the now homeless due to hurricane Sandy. The mission statement:

If you’re a runner willing to donate your room, all we need from you is your hotel reservation information and we will call the hotels directly to facilitate transferring the reservation.

If you’re a New Yorker looking for a place to stay please submit your information and we will grant you a room on a first come first served basis.
Media, please help spread the word.

Contact us with any questions.

And remember, this is literally a race against the clock to ensure that these reservations don’t go to waste, so please act with a sense of urgency!

The Blitz cannot vouch for race2recover.com, however, we will help spread the word.
