Runners From Jersey Shore Race Canceled After Explosion Join NYC Run

NEW YORK (AP) — About 100 runners have joined in a New York City race after a pipe bomb explosion canceled their race in New Jersey last week.

The runners wore matching white shirts and held hands at the starting line of the Tunnel to Towers Run on Sunday morning.

They had been planning to take part in the Semper Five charity 5K in Seaside Park, New Jersey, on Sept. 17. That race was halted after the bomb went off. No one was injured.

The New York City race traces the route of a firefighter who ran from Brooklyn to the World Trade Center on 9/11. Proceeds go to wounded veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. About 30,000 people take part.
