Yeah, you're a bandit. The organizers spend a lot of time and effort, and probably money, arranging the necessary permits, security, ambulances, etc. Not to mention the volunteers, who are probably there because they support the organization and not for random runners. Someone who crashes a wedding is still a wedding crasher, even if they don't drink from the open bar.
If you do bandit, then run like you stole something.
It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com
Yes, kudos to Mr not-Phil for the true Bandit. I came back into this thread to add that... in fact, that exact shot from the movie... and was beaten. A tip of my potato cap to you, sir.
I'll take a stab it at... i'm in the middle of law school finals! We need to protect the interests of the race directors. ...We call this the free-rider problem. The same is true with news, intellectual property, etc. While you might not be physically stealing, you are depriving people of the fruits of their labour, and taking a personal benefit at the expenses of the majority.
Yep. Mamaofthree. See what you've wrought?
