Amen to this! I haven't run in any races but my kids have so I know exactly where you are coming from here! I hope someone on the committee for the marathon reads this post and does what you recommend. It is only when they are met with harsh consequences and lose that they will start to change. Unfortunately, that will never happen... one can always hope and dream though...
