I remember a thread a while back on Elite and for-profit organizers in general. Below is an article about Elite and their alleged practices. Thought you guys would be interested. http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/feb/01/1m1elite23246-sd-marathon-runs-controversy/?zIndex=46271

Sounds like a great scam....set up a non-profit and a for-profit, bring the money into the non-profit to save taxes and get discounts/grants, then "donate" the money to the for-profit...

Running a business honestly is so out of touch with the times, and puts you at a significant competitive disadvantage. To keep the playing field level you gotta lie, cheat and steal. Right? Maybe His Dishonor Mr Blagojevich will find employment as the RD of a major race soon.

May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your SPF30, may the rains fall soft upon your sweat-wicking hat, and until you hit the finish line may The Flying Spaghetti Monster hold you in the hollow of His Noodly Appendage.
