After runners participating in a New Jersey half marathon were seen on video trudging through waist-deep flood waters amid Sunday's rain, the organizers of the event have been placed on probation by Bergen County and will not be allowed to plan any events in the county for at least a year.⁠ ⁠ One runner said weather conditions continued to worsen as the race went on, and at one point, he and his cousin had to help an elderly woman fighting the current, as she was unable to make it through on her own.⁠ ⁠ A county spokesperson said the half marathon was a private event in Paramus and they advised the race organizers to use a different route to help avoid areas at highest risk of flooding.⁠ ⁠ The organizers of the race have not responded to multiple requests for comment. ⁠ ⁠ #nbc4ny #nj #flood #paramus
