The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is demanding that the New York Road Runners, which organizes the annual event, cough up $750,000 to make up for the toll revenue it loses by closing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
If a toll payment isn't made, the Times reports the marathon may have to significantly cut its number of runners down from the 50,000 who participated last year.
