Just Happy to Run
I want to help her. Any thoughts?
Runners run
Hmm tough one. But I'm having a hard time connecting the votes on your outfit to raising money for the orphanage. Unless, like American Idol, people will vote by texting the word vote to 99505 (for Dorothy), 99506 (for Scarecrow), 95507 (for Cowardly Lion) etc. with $5 being added to their wirless bill automagically. So I'd say just wear whateve you want and then send her a check.

...Thank god you did not get that coming a few seconds earlier from the front also...!
I am shocked that people feel this strongly against it though. People in the university setting audit classes all the time and don't have to pay but they don't get credit. They even take up a seat. The student next to them is paying, but the student next to them is also getting credit and a degree. A bandit runner doesn't get a time, doesn't get a place, doesn't get any bragging rights. Assuming they're respectful and self-sufficient - They add and experience the atmosphere without detracting from other paying runners. Would it be a different story if this was a small 5k with a bad turnout of 15 people and to have an extra head makes the race a little bit more exciting?
Here you go: Any other rec's? I think Mikey's idea of cutting a check and being done with it is a good one, but I def can't come close to the amount previously raised.
Wow thanks .. .To quote Sr Lopez .... "I may kick that guy in the Nuts" !

She will show, say, three pictures of me on the website. People will get to vote on the outfit and each vote costs $10.
Moral compass needed! Can I vote without paying?
I'd be willing to bet that many of the folks who pony up triple digits for NYCM, the rnr series, etc are doing it for a heck of a lot more than simply the time, the medal, and the shirt. It's about the experience. I can't quantify "the experience", and it is why these threads suck because it gets people sniping at each other for the dumbassest of dumbass reasons. It is a fucking event that other people paid fucking money to fucking run. If you want to fucking do it without fucking paying, have fucking at it. I don't care. Unless you are the bandit next to me, and then I might kick you in the nuts.
