That will not be well received by Jewish (even most secular Jews observe Rosh Hashana) runners (like myself). I remember last year, NYRR originally scheduled the Brooklyn Half on Passover. Many Jewish runners and residents (the course goes through a heavily Jewish area of Brooklyn) of Brooklyn voiced their concern and the date was changed. Sept. 20 is Rosh Hashana.
