Twelve members of ABC News will split the 26.2-mile tour of the five boroughs in relay style, each running two to three miles
"Good Morning America" co-anchor Robin Roberts will start the relay and "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir will finish it.
"On a daily basis, we work together as a news team, so it comes naturally to run the marathon as a relay, passing a literal baton and doing it for the benefit of the youth in our community," said Davis, ABC News Live "Prime" anchor. The organization helped to expand Rising New York Road Runners, NYRR's flagship free youth program. NYRR's youth program started at a single school with 12 participants in 1999, and now it serves over 137 thousand kids nationwide.
