A group of athletes competing in the New York Marathon on Sunday, November 7, has joined a campaign by the Peruvian government to demand Yale University return archeological treasures taken from Machu Picchu in the early 1900s. Wearing T-shirts with the slogan "Yale, return Machu Picchu artifacts to Peru", the athletes are running, jogging, and walking the 26-mile New York City Marathon, which winds through the city's five boroughs: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Peruvians Claudia Cuneo, Rodolfo Pareja, Walter Takano, Francisco Rivera, Gianina Lepiani, Marco Rivas, Juan Arruz, Shirley Álvarez, Vladimir Figari were among the 43,000 or more runners at the starting line on Sunday. |
