Re: Making 26.2 Work for All of Us



Doug:
IMO, the only time limitation for a matathon should be the time the
race can keep the course safely open - period!

pendejo:
OK, but how about for a 24 hour race?  If it's no hazard or nuisance
to the general citizenry, should they keep the course open 36 hours
for the slower runners?  ;-)

Doug:
It should be spelled out on the registration form. This is always
covered in my races.

Zounds, I don't know whether to laugh or sigh.

Let's try again.

OK, but how about a six day race? Keep the course open nine days for
the slower runners?
