Since the danger involved in your scenario is orders of magnitude greater then for an individual runner joining into the marathon your analogy is inapt.

In addition race car drivers need years of training and experience to be qualified to safely drive a race car. Marathon runners need only to put one foot in front of the other.

LMAO...more qualifiers...

Your first reply was that NASCAR isnt run on public streets....so when faced with races that ARE run on public streets...you add more qualifiers to try and support your stated logic...

You clearly support the race crashers...and will jump through logic hoops and crabwalk to do so...

The bottom line is...the race organizers have every right to restrict who runs that race on public streets...they paid for a permit, they sanction the runners...and they run the event...

Same as the long beach grand prix....

Trying to have it both ways is..illogical...

The Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon take place along a public trail named Barr Trail. The number of contestants is limitted to that number that can safely run up/down the narrow trail. Bandits slow down the runners who played by the rules and paid their fee, and make the trail more treacherous.

Taking something you don't deserve or earn just because you want it is not proud, American history, it's theft.
