No, not the mayoral election. Sunday is the 54th New York City Marathon. Fifty thousand runners from all over the globe will be at the starting line, and thousands more New Yorkers will come out along the 26.2 mile course to cheer them as they attempt to finish what many consider the most challenging of the seven major marathons.

Parts of New York City saw record rainfall on Thursday, and the deluge flooded some streets and subway stations. According to NYC Emergency Management, the National Weather Service reported that 1.8 inches of rain fell in Central Park on Thursday. That would preliminarily break the previous known record set in 1917, the department said.
