    Did you send them an email?

     

    Spectators reporting rules violations? What, is this golf?

      I would probably not do it, unless the Race Director told me it was okay.

        Funny you should say that, a friend of mine is one of those rule enforcer dudes for the USGA.

         

        Oddly today I find myself with a bib for a race I can't run that is sold out, and I don't think I could even give it away.

          In almost 40 years of racing history I'm sure I have but don't recall the details. Would I do it now? Probably not.

            Yes, but probably not at max effort. If I'm going to kill myself, I want credit for it.

            kind of a big deal

              i'd do it. i never place anyway, so it's not like i'd be stealing anyone's thunder.

                Funny this thread popped up.  While perusing the Chicago results to goof on B-Plus, I stumbled upon this.  The winner of the 15-19 yr old age group was Brianna Eaton from Annapolis in a blazing 2:42:00.  First place, nice job for a young girl.  Here is a picture of her from Marathon photo.

                 

                This is why running with false bibs is not good.  Clearly messed up the AG awards.
