The first running of the Jersey City Marathon and Half-Marathon this weekend will feature a special division and cash prizes for nonbinary runners, according to reports.
, “In Jersey City, 10 nonbinary runners in the marathon and four in the half marathon were among the 6,300 runners overall who had signed up as of Thursday morning, said race director Steve Lipski.”
The marathon’s decision to include a nonbinary category drew praise from New Jersey’s leading LGBT advocates. “For many nonbinary people, being forced to compete in either the men’s or women’s division can be a point of discomfort. This allows them to compete in a way that feels safe and comfortable to them.”
