Ryan Hall Withdraws from NYC MarathonPublished by
New York October 22, 2013— The 2013 ING New York City Marathon men’s professional field will lose previously announced Ryan Hall due to a hip injury, it was announced today by New York Road Runners officials. “In my zealous efforts to have redemption in this year's ING New York City Marathon, I overstepped the first and most important rule—making it to the line healthy,” said Hall. “A long string of very aggressive training has aggravated my hip and it has not been able to fully calm down, such that I don't think racing on it is wise. I am very disappointed that I won't be lining up on November 3rd as I had so looked forward to, but I am refocusing now on getting back to 100% and going after some big goals in 2014. Redemption will have to wait, but it will be all the more sweet.” Nationally, the ING New York City Marathon will be presented live on ESPN2 and ESPN Deportes+ from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST.
