How to Run the New York City Marathon

I never wanted to run NYC β€” until I went into the city in 2016 to cheer for a friend running it. If, like me, you watch on Sunday and decide yes, you want to be part of this 26.2-mile block party, here's a rundown on all the ways to enter the race:

Army veteran: Memorial Day should remind people that some gave all while having few rights back home Memorial Day is a sacred holiday honoring Americans of all backgrounds who have long played a significant role in securing our liberties.

"Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for this country. But this year, a gray cloud hangs over the occasion."

β€’ Responding to reports of missing children;
β€’ Preventing youth violence

4-year-old migrant girl, other kids go to court in NYC with no lawyer: 'The cruelty is apparent' The Trump administration cut funding for lawyers aiding unaccompanied minors in court.

The parties included a 7, 8, and 4-year-old.

"None of the children were accompanied by parents or attorneys."

"The 4-year-old girl in the tie-dye shirt raised her hand, dangling her pink plushy above her head. It wasn’t clear – was she responding to the question, or just playing with her toy?"
