I just found out that the Shamrock Half (and full) marathons do not allow iPods or headphones. Is this becoming common place for races?
They were outlawed but I only saw about every 10th person wearing them anyways it seemed.
Run to Win25 Marathons, 17 Ultras, 16 States (Full List)
I know it is a crazy idea, and most people wouldn't pay to wear headphones but it's an idea nonetheless. Perhaps their bib number could have an "H" in front of the number to allow race officials to know they bought the right to wear headphones.
